OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Pivoting the Shoe
The base shoe (A) pivots to provide maximum
contact with the surface being cut.
a. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
b. Hold the saw securely, then manually pivot the
shoe to the desired angle.
WARNING
• To avoid injury and damage, do not operate the
saw without the base shoe in place. The spindle
may strike against the workpiece and damage
the reciprocating mechanism.
7. Orbital Function Lever
This reciprocating saw has the option of orbital
action to make the blade swing slightly as it cuts.
a. Release the variable-speed trigger switch (H)
and allow the saw to come to a complete stop
before making adjustment.
b. Turn the orbital-function lever (E) to the "
position for orbital cutting action.
c. Turn the orbital-function lever to the "
straight cuts without orbital action.
Orbital action increases the speed of the cut, but may
result in a rougher finish to the cut in some materials.
Experiment on a piece of scrap material in order to
determine the optimum pendulum action setting.
8. Hang hook
Your reciprocating saw is equipped with a hang
hook (F) for hanging it when not in use. Simply fold
out the hang hook to the required position. When
the tool is hanging by the hook, ensure that the
saw blade is removed to avoid unintended contact
or injury.
Fold the hook back in again before cutting with
the saw.
