NOTE:
Continued use of the tool without cleaning and
lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed
can result in some slack movement of the lever due
to accumulated sawdust and chips.
Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided
on the lever in the direction of an arrow mark as
shown in Fig. 14 and remove the rubber cap from
the lever. Then, clean up the inside of the blade
holder with air and the like and carry out sufficient
lubrication.
The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly
onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there
exists no clearance between the blade holder and
the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the saw-
blade-installed area can function smoothly.
CAUTION:
Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade
hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off,
resulting in personal injury. (Fig. 15)
3. Adjusting the base
Loosen the hex socket bolt with an Allen wrench and
move the base forward, as shown in Fig. 16, Fig. 17.
Tighten the hex socket bolt slightly, ensure the base
does not move back and forth, and firmly tighten
the hex socket bolt. Ensure that the base does not
contact the blade.
4. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
HOW TO USE THE CORDLESS
RECIPROCATING SAW
CAUTION:
Avoid carrying it with your finger on the switch. A
sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.
Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc.,
enter the inside of the machine through the
plunger section during operation. If sawdust and
the like accumulate in the plunger section, always
clean it before use.
Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 6).
Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front
cover.
During use, press the base against the material
while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is
not pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes
contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the
saw blade.
Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.
Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the
saw blade after subtracting the stroke should be
larger than the material (see Fig. 18 and Fig. 20).
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc.,
that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there
is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner
wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage.
(Fig. 19, Fig. 21)
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the causes
of overloading.
