BATTERY POWER INDICATOR (FIG 5)
there is a battery power indicator on the battery pack. it
has three green lights (8b). Depress the power indicator
button (8a) on the side to check the battery power level.
when all three lights illuminate, it indicates the battery is at
full power. the battery is at half full power when two lights
illuminate. when one light illuminates only, it indicates that
the battery is at a low power level and requires immediate
charging.
WARNING:
battery pack from the tool or place the switch in the
locked or off position before any assembly, adjustments
or changing accessories.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE SAW
To Start the Saw
, depress and hold the lock-off button
(2-fig1), then depress the trigger switch (1-fig1) to start
the saw. the saw is equipped with a variable-speed trigger
switch. Depressing the switch further will produce more
speed.
CUTTING ACTION
the reciprocating saw blade is doing most of its cutting as
it travels towards the operator. Depending on the type of
material and cutting speed, this can cause splintering on
the surface of the workpiece that is facing the operator.
therefore, if possible, position the workpiece so that the
desired "good" side of the workpiece is facing away from
the operator.
GENERAL CUTTING
Clamp your workpiece if it is portable. rest the front shoe
of the saw on your workpiece (be sure the blade is not
contacting the workpiece) and start the saw. start the cut,
exerting enough pressure in the direction of the cut to keep
the blade cutting, and enough forward pressure to keep the
shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece at all times. Do
not force the cut or stall the saw. Don't bend or twist the
blade. let the tool and the blade do the work. in general
blades with fewer teeth (under 10 per inch) are for rough
cutting on wood. higher tooth count blades with fine teeth
are for plastics, composites, PVC, and metal. Chattering
or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher
speed. if the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you
need a coarser blade or slower speed setting. replace
blades when they become dull. Dull blades will produce
poor results and may overheat the saw.
OPERATION
always disconnect the
APPLICATIONS
ENGLISH
To Stop the Saw
, release the tgrigger switch. allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
LED WORK LIGHT
your tool has a built-in leD work light (4-fig 1) to illuminate
the work area. when you turn on the tool, the work light will
automatically turn on.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
this saw is equipped with an electric brake, an electric
brake provides you with another element of control during
various operations. if the tool consistently fails to quickly
stop after the trigger switch is released, have a qualified
serviceman to examine the tool.
METAL CUTTING
blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be
used for this purpose. you may use a light oil as a coolant
when cutting metal; this will prevent overheating of the
blade, help the blade cut faster, and promote longer blade
life.
WARNING:
dust mask if operation is dusty. wear hearing protection
during long periods of operation. support and clamp
workpiece securely. Keep your balance and don't
overreach.
wear safety glasses. wear a
