IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before attempting to use this tool, become familiar with all of its operating features and safety requirements. For
optimum performance and safety, read the operating instructions carefully before using the reciprocating saw.
LED WORKLIGHT
(fig 1)
The LED worklight, located next to the tool-less blade
clamp of this tool, will illuminate when the saw is turned
on. This provides additional light on the surface of the
workpiece for operation in lower-light conditions.
The LED worklight will turn off when the saw is turned off.
VARIABLE SPEED
(fig 2)
This tool has a variable-speed trigger switch that delivers
higher speed with increased trigger pressure and
lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. Speed
is controlled by the degree to which the trigger is
depressed.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING SAW BLADE
(fig 3)
1. Unplug the reciprocating saw from the power supply.
2. Pull the blade-clamp lever as far as it will go to open
the tool-less blade clamp.
3. Insert the blade until it stops, then release the blade-
clamp lever to lock the blade in position. The blade
may be inserted with the teeth facing down or up.
4. Use your gloved hand to push in and pull out on the
blade to be sure the blade is clamped securely.
REMOVING THE SAW BLADE
(fig 3)
1. Unplug the reciprocating saw from the power supply.
2. To remove the blade, pull the blade-clamp lever as far as it will go and, with your gloved hand, pull the
blade out of the clamp.
CAUTION!
• For all work and when changing the blade, always wear protective gloves. The sharp edges
of the blade will cause personal injury. The blade can be very hot while working.
WARNING!
• Check that the blade is correctly attached. An incorrect or insecurely fastened blade can
come loose during operation and cause a hazard.
• Always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power supply before
making any adjustments and attaching any accessories.
• Make sure that the front end of the blade extends through the footplate for the entire
stroke length. Do not use specialty blades that are very short or those with a significant
cant. The blade must not contact the footplate at any point in its stroke. A blade that is too
short or canted could jam inside the foot and snap.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING!
• Do not allow familiarity with the reciprocating saw to cause a lack of alertness. A fraction
of a second of carelessness is enough to cause severe injury.
• Never connect the reciprocating saw to the power source when you are assembling parts,
making adjustments, installing or removing cutting blade, cleaning, or when it is not in use.
Disconnecting the reciprocating saw will prevent accidental starting, which could cause
serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Allow blade to cool after use. The blade can become dangerously hot.
