KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

TOOLLESS BLADE CLAMP

Your saw has a blade clamp design that does not require the use of a tool (blade wrench) when installing or removing the blade. Simply lift blade clamp lock / release lever, located on side of saw, insert blade between blade clamp and saw bar as far as possible, then release lever to lock position.

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 to pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. You can depress the lock-off button from either side.

HEX KEY STORAGE

The hex key storage area is located on the base of the saw.

SWITCH TRIGGER

The switch trigger is conveniently located on the handle of the tool.

VARIABLE SPEED

This tool has a variable speed feature that delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure.

CHARGER

Your 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.
