Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
Flush‑To Cutting (Fig.I)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle
housing permits extremely close cutting to floors, corners and
other difficultareas.
Pocket/plunge Cutting – Wood Only (Fig.J)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area
to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber. Use
the appropriate blade for the application. The blade should
be longer than 90mm and should extend past the shoe and
the thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Insert blade in
bladeclamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe
is resting on the work surface and the blade clears the work
surface (position 1, Fig.J). Now switch motor on, and allow
saw to come up to speed. Grip saw firmly with both hands and
begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the
saw, keeping the bottom of the shoe firmly in contact with
the workpiece (position 2, Fig.J). Blade will begin to feed into
material. Always be sure blade is completely through material
before continuing with pocketcut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge
of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut should be
extended beyond edge of cut to bemade.
Metal Cutting (Fig.K)
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending upon
type of blade used and the metal to be cut. Use a finer blade for
ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non‑ferrous materials. In
thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides
of sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or
tearing of metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as
this reduces blade life and causes costly bladebreakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals
you should spread a thin film of oil or other lubricant along
the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer
bladelife.
Cutting (Fig.I–K)

WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear approved eyeprotection.

WARNING: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards
operator. Always hold saw firmly with both hands
whilecutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored
or clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly against
work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain
maximum speed before applying pressure. Whenever possible,
the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being
cut (Fig.I). This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating
and minimise blade breakage. Any cuts that put pressure on the
blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration,
kickback, and bladebreakage.

WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and
pay particular attention to overhead wires that may be
hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches
and debris ahead oftime.

WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water
pipes, or electrical wires before making blind or plunge
cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property
damage, electric shock, and/or serious personalinjury.
Cutting with Blade in Horizontal Position
(Fig.G)
Your reciprocating saw is equipped with a horizontal blade
clamp. Installing a blade in the horizontal orientation allows
cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings where limited clearance
is available. Ensure that the shoe is pressed against the work
piece to avoidkickback.
Blade Installation and Removal (Fig.A,E, F, I)
Different blade lengths are available. Use the appropriate blade
for the application. The blade should be longer than 90mm and
should extend past the shoe and the thickness of the workpiece
during the cut. Do not use jigsaw blades with thistool.

WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur if the
blade does not extend past the shoe and the workpiece
during the cut (Fig.E). Increased risk of personal injury, as
well as damage to the shoe and workpiece mayresult.
To Install Blade into Saw
1. Pull blade clamp release lever
3
up (Fig.A).
2. Insert blade shank from thefront.
3. Push blade clamp release leverdown.
NOTE: The blade can be installed in four positions as shown
in FigureF. The blade can be installed upside‑down for flush
cutting. Refer to FigureJ.
To Remove Blade From Saw

CAUTION: Burn hazard. Do not touch the blade
immediately after use. Contact with the blade may result
in personalinjury.
1. Open up blade clamp releaselever.
2. Removeblade.
