OPERATION
Inserting and Removing Saw
Blades:
1. Make sure saw is unplugged from
power source.
2. Use the 3mm Allen
®
Wrench supplied
to loosen the setscrew located in the
slot on the left hand side of the saw
(see Figure 3 for location of controls).
While it is not required to remove the
screw, it does need to be turned three
or four times to allow blades to be
exchanged. Please note the locating
pin under the jaw clamp. (Figure 2).
3. Remove the blade and replace with
blade that has appropriate shank pro-
file (see Figure 1). Make sure the
blade has the correct tooth count per
inch for the job to be done.
4. Tighten the screw while ensuring the
locating pin remains in the hole pro-
vided for it in the blade.
Always check to see if the blade is
secure after the setscrew 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 1. Always use correct shank profile.

Continuous Run Mode:
The trigger switch can be locked by press-
ing the button on the side of the handle.
Squeeze the trigger switch until it has
reached the required position and depress
the lock on the knob. This will make the
tool run continuously. Press the trigger
switch to disengage the lock (see Figure
3).
Any time the saw is plugged into
a power source, the reciprocating
blade will activate when the trig-
ger is depressed. Before making
any adjustments or when changing
blades, always remove the plug from
the power source first. Failure to
observe this will lead to serious per-
sonal injury.
