FOREWORD
This Reciprocating Saw is designed for cutting
metal up to 20mm (3/4”) thick, wood up to
300mm (12") thick (depending on the blade), and
various other materials, such as plastics, fiberglass,
hard rubber, etc.
SELECTING THE BLADE
For best performance, longer blade life, and
smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job.
When cutting metal always select a blade which
will allow at least three teeth to be engaged in the
thickness of material.
MOUNTING THE BLADE
This machine is supplied with a standard hex key
blade clamp.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
1. Use hex wrench (supplied) to loosen blade
clamp screw. It may not be necessary to fully
remove the screw, just loosen enough for the
clamp to be opened enough to accept the
blade. Turn it counterclockwise about three to
four turns.
2. Insert the blade into the blade clamp until it
bottoms. When the blade is properly
positioned: the hole in the blade shank will
align with the hole inside the blade clamp.
Ensure that the locating pin is properly
positioned before tightening the screw.
3. Firmly tighten clamp screw.
4. To remove blade, loosen blade clamp screw
enough for the clamp to fully release the blade
