OPERATION
Hold tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields.
Adjusting shoe
When the blade loses its cutting effi-
ciency in one place along its cutting
edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting
edge. This will help to lengthen the life
of the blade. To reposition the shoe,
loosen the shoe lock lever counter-
clockwise and slide the shoe forward
or back to the desired position. Then
tighten the lever clockwise to firmly
secure the shoe.

CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery pack into
the tool, always check to see that the
trigger switch actuates properly and
returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
Switch lock lever
Trigger switch
To prevent the trigger switch from
being accidentally pulled, a lock-off
button switch lock lever is provided.
Always make sure the switch is locked
when carrying or storing the tool to
eliminate unintentional starting.
To start the motor, press the switch lock
lever, then squeeze the trigger switch.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, keep
hands away from the blade and
other moving parts.
Starting and Stopping
To start the tool, grasp the handle
firmly. Press the switch lock lever,
which can be pressed in from either
left or right side of the tool.
Then pull the trigger switch.
To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Allow the tool to come to a complete
stop before removing the blade from a
partial cut or before laying the tool down.
Controlling speed by Trig-
ger Switch
The reciprocating saw is equipped
with a trigger speed control switch.
It may be operated at any speed
from zero stroke per minute to full
speed. Always start tool before blade
contacts the workpiece. To vary the
speed, simply increase or decrease
the pressure on the trigger. The further
the trigger is pulled, the greater the
speed.
Cutting materials
Before the blade contacts the work-
piece, grasp the handle firmly and
pull the trigger. Begin cutting at slow
speed, gradually increasing speed as
you cut. When cutting into materials
or hard materials that can not be cut
from an edge, drill a starting hole larg-
er than the widest part of the blade.
CAUTION:
• Always press the shoe firmly
against the workpiece during oper-
ation. If the shoe is held away from
the workpiece during operation,
strong vibration and/or twisting will
be produced, causing the blade to
snap dangerously.
• Always wear gloves to protect your
hands from flying hot chips when
