FRONT SCROLL HOUSING ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1. The variable angle reciprocating saw is designed with a rotatable front
scroll housing for easier radius cuts. This feature permits additional access in
close workspaces to reach places where conventional tools cannot be used.
2. The front scroll housing can rotate 360°. The front scroll housing can be
adjusted radially to 12 detented positions. This feature is designed to simplify
adjusting to radial angle of cut and combined with the rotatable gear
housing, provides accessibility to most any cutting operation.
3. To rotate the front scroll housing, depress lock button (A) Fig. 8. Hold the
button depressed while moving the front scroll housing clockwise or
counterclockwise to the desired radial position or angle. Then release the
lock button and continue to move the front scroll housing until the lock
button snaps into the desired detent position (B) Fig. 9.
HOW TO HOLD SAW

is removed or becomes damaged the pins can fall out.
WARNING: Always exercise extreme caution when positioning
hands. Use both hands to hold and control tool especially when
making angle or scroll cuts. Exercise caution when cutting towards
operator.
WARNING: Always be aware of increased tool vibration, kickback
and blade breakage potential when making angle and scroll cuts..
