FEATURES

KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use your reciprocating saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.

WARNING: Carefully read through this entire owner's manual before using your new reciprocating saw. Pay close attention to the Rules For Safe Operation, Warnings and Cautions. If you use your reciprocating saw properly and only for what it is intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable service.

Your reciprocating saw has been shipped completely assembled except for the blade. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your nearest Sears Retail Store to obtain replacement parts before attempting to operate saw. Two blades, blade wrench (5 mm hex key) and this owner's manual are also included.

WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

BLADE WRENCH HOLDER

A blade wrench (5 mm hex key) is packed with your saw. A convenient feature on your saw is the wrench holder. This is a slot located on the bottom portion of the saw handle. It is convenient for storing the wrench when it is not being used.

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. You must depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. Note: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

SWITCH

To turn your saw ON, depress the lock-off button and pull switch trigger. Release switch trigger to turn your saw

OFF.

VARIABLE SPEED

This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.
