Use and Care Guide

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

k. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of the tool slowly, until the shoe rests rmly on

the workpiece.

l. After the blade has penetrated through the work piece, continue sawing along the marked

cutting line.

NOTICE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade and install the blade with the

teeth facing upward as show in Column B.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property damage, always check the work

area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.

• To avoid loss of control and serious injury, make sure that the blade reaches maximum speed

before touching it to the work piece.

• Do not make plunge cuts in metal materials.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualied technician.

Cleaning

Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove the battery pack from the

reciprocating saw. For safe and proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots

clean.

Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your reciprocating saw; never use detergent or

alcohol.
