Intended use
The tool is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and
building materials with a strong impact. It is suitable for
straight and curved cutting.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to recipro saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the opeator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the work-
piece before cutting so that the blade will not
strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.

to a complete stop before removing the blade
from the workpiece.

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
/II

14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting the shoe (Fig. 1 & 2)
GEA008-1
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help to
lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe,
push the shoe button in the "A" direction with a click and
reposition as shown in the figure which allows you to
make five-way adjustment. To secure the shoe, push the
shoe button in the "B" direction with a click.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous opera-
tion, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock but-
ton.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
