Installing a saw blade

WARNING. Never leave a battery on charge once it starts to warm up. Never leave the battery pack on charge for more than 3 hours after the green LED lights.

If you wish to charge a second battery pack, pull out the plug from the mains supply and keep it disconnected for at least 15 minutes before attempting to charge the second battery.

WARNING. Never store the battery out of the tool as the contacts are exposed and could be shorted by a metal object and cause a fire or explosion!

CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and the battery is removed before making any adjustments. Wear work gloves when replacing a blade.

1.Loosen the blade clamp (4) by depressing the clamp lever (7). This will allow the saw blade to be inserted.

2.Whilst holding the blade clamp open, line up and insert the new saw blade.

3.Let go of the blade clamp lever to lock the saw blade in position.

4.Pull on the blade to ensure it is securely fastened.

WARNING. Make sure that the blade is securely fastened before starting the saw.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Switching on and off

1.Attach the battery pack (10).

2.To start the saw, press the lock-off button (3) and squeeze the trigger switch (1). There is no need to keep the lock-off button depressed once the saw has started. However, if the trigger switch is released, the lock-off button will re-engage as a safety precaution to prevent accidental operation.

3.In order to restart the saw, both the lock-off button and the trigger switch must be pressed again.

Varying the speed

The more pressure you apply to the trigger switch, the higher the speed you will achieve. Vary the speed to suit the blade and the material being cut.

Changing the position of the shoe

Where possible, rest the shoe on the material being cut. Change the angle of the shoe to suit the shape of the material.

CAUTION. Do not operate the reciprocating saw if the adjustable shoe is damaged or not installed.
