SELECTION OF BLADES
To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results,
it is very important to select the appropriate blade best
suited to the type and thickness of the material to be
cut.
NOTE:
䡬 Dimensions of the workpiece mentioned in the table
represent the dimensions when the mounting
position of the base is set nearest to the body of
the Cordless Reciprocating Saw. Caution must be
exercised since dimensions of the workpiece will
become smaller if the base is mounted far away
from the body of the Cordless Reciprocating Saw.
1. Selection of HCS blades
The blade number of HCS blades in Table 4 is
engraved in the vicinity of the mounting position
of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring
to Tables 4 and 6 below.
Table 4: HCS blades
NOTE
No. 1 – No. 96 HCS blades are sold separately as
optional accessories.
2. Selection of BI-METAL blades
The BI-METAL blade numbers in Table 5 are
described on the packages of special accessories.
Select appropriate blades by referring to Table 5
and 6 below.
Table 5: Bl-METAL blades
NOTE
Nos. 101 – No. 132 Bl-METAL blades are sold separately
as optional accessories.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the
battery before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will
result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with
a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
