WARNING. Never leave a battery on charge once it starts
to warm up. Never leave the battery pack on charge for
more than 3 hours after the green LED lights.
If you wish to charge a second battery pack, pull out the plug
from the mains supply and keep it disconnected for at least
15 minutes before attempting to charge the second battery.
WARNING. Never store the battery out of the tool as the
contacts are exposed and could be shorted by a metal
object and cause a fire or explosion!
Installing a saw blade
CAUTION. Always ensure that
the saw is switched off and
the battery is removed before
making any adjustments.
Wear work gloves when
replacing a blade.
1. Loosen the blade clamp (4)
by depressing the clamp
lever (7). This will allow the
saw blade to be inserted.
2. Whilst holding the blade
clamp open, line up and
insert the new saw blade.
3. Let go of the blade clamp
lever to lock the saw blade
in position.
4. Pull on the blade to ensure it
is securely fastened.
WARNING. Make sure that
the blade is securely fastened
before starting the saw.
Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
Switching on and off
1. Attach the battery pack (10).
2. To start the saw, press
the lock-off button (3) and
squeeze the trigger switch (1).
There is no need to keep the
lock-off button depressed
once the saw has started.
However, if the trigger switch
is released, the lock-off
button will re-engage as a
safety precaution to prevent
accidental operation.
3. In order to restart the saw, both the lock-off button and the
trigger switch must be pressed again.
Varying the speed
The more pressure you apply to the trigger switch, the
higher the speed you will achieve. Vary the speed to suit
the blade and the material being cut.
Changing the position of the shoe
Where possible, rest the
shoe on the material being
cut. Change the angle of the
shoe to suit the shape of the
material.
CAUTION. Do not operate
the reciprocating saw if the
adjustable shoe is damaged or
not installed.
