5. Adjusting the base (Fig. 12)
To maximize blade life, the base slides in or out to allow
the stroke length to be adjusted for better effi ciency.
(1) Remove the hexagonal bar wrench from its storage
spot, and use it to loosen the 2 base stopper screws
at the bottom of the front cover.
(2) Adjust the attachment position of the base.
(3) Firmly tighten the 2 base stopper screws that were
loosened.
Base
WARNING
To avoid injury and damage, do not operate the
saw without the base in place. The blade holder
may strike against the workpiece and damage
the reciprocating mechanism.
6. Check battery insertion
WARNING
If the battery is inserted while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
CAUTION
Until the battery locks in place with a little click,
if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool
causing injury to you or someone around you.

OPERATION
WARNING
Never touch the moving parts.
CAUTION
● Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture,
etc., enter the inside of the machine through the
plunger section during operation. If sawdust
and the like accumulate in the plunger section,
always clean it before use.
● Be sure to hold the body from the top of the
housing. (Fig. 14)
● During use, press the base against the material
while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base
is not pressed fi rmly against the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can
sometimes contact the inner wall of the pipe,
damaging the saw blade.
● Select a saw blade of the most appropriate
length. Ideally, the length protruding from the
base of the saw blade after subtracting the
stroke should be larger than the material (see
Fig. 15 and Fig. 17).
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc.,
that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade;
there is a risk that the blade may contact with
the inner wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in
damage. (Fig. 16, Fig. 18)
