KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW

See Figure 1.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

CHARGER

The charger has a key-hole hanging feature for convenient, space-saving storage. Screws should be installed so that the center distance is 4-1/8 in.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

Your saw is equipped with a “lock-off” button which reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger.

BASE (SHOE) ASSEMBLY

The shoe assembly can be adjusted forward or backward to take advantage of the unused portion of the blade, or for special jobs requiring low blade clearance.

BLADE CLAMP LOCK / RELEASE LEVER

Your saw has a blade clamp design that does not require the use of a tool (blade wrench) when installing or removing the blade.

VARIABLE SPEED

The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
