OPERATION
Inserting and Removing Saw
Blades:
1. Remove the Battery and lock the trig-
ger lock located above the trigger. It is
locked when the button is depressed
from the right hand side of the saw.
2. Use the 4mm Allen
®
Wrench supplied
to loosen the cap screw located in the
slot on the right hand side of the saw.
While it is not required to remove the
screw, it does need to be turned 3 or
four times to allow blades to be
exchanged. Please note the locating
pin under the jaw clamp. (Figure 3).
3. Remove the blade and replace with
blade that has appropriate shank pro-
file (see Figure 4). Make sure the
blade has the correct tooth count per
inch for the job to be done.
4. Tighten the screw while insuring the
locating pin remains in the hole pro-
vided for it in the blade.5.
Always check to see if the blade is
secure after the cap screw is tight.
Grasp the back side of the blade (the
side without teeth) and gently try to
move it side to side and back and
forth. If the blade is found to be loose
remove the screw and reposition the
blade.
Fig 3. Always use correct shank profile.

Pin
Any time the battery is installed in the
saw the reciprocating blade will acti-
vate when the trigger is depressed.
Before making any adjustments or
when changing blades always
remove the battery first. Failure to
observe this will lead to serious per-
sonal injury.

1. Insure the trigger lock is in the locked
position.
2. Insert the battery into the handle of
the saw so that the long end is for-
ward. The battery will only install in
one orientation.
3. Make sure the securing clasps on
either side of the saw base engage
with the clips on the battery compart-
ment.
