when cutting into a wall
10 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Slide a fully charged battery pack into the bottom of the handle, making sure that it clicks into
place. Be sure the battery pack is securely seated into the saw handle so it will not fall off
during use.
Hold the reciprocating saw firmly with both hands. Position the blade near the workpiece,
Release the lock-off button once the tool has power. Allow the saw to come up to full speed
before applying it to the workpiece
IMPORTANT: Do not start the saw if the saw blade is in contact with anything
before operation. If necessary, lift the tool from the workpiece before
squeezing the ON/OFF switch trigger.
In preparation for making a cut, place the pivot shoe assembly (1) on the surface to be cut.
Align the saw blade with the direction of the cut and slowly lower the saw blade onto the cut
line to begin the cut. Do not attempt to cut with the tip of the blade; kickback and damage to
the blade could result.
When finished cutting, release the ON/OFF switch trigger to stop the tool.
Remove the battery pack and the saw blade.
Clean, then store the saw indoors and out of children's reach.
