(original instructions)
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time.

Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no
earth wire is required. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or an authorised STANLEY FATMAX
Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of this appliance (see technical data). The
extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Up to 30 m of 1.5 mm
can be used without loss of product performance.
Before use, inspect the extension cable for signs of damage,
wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable if damaged
or defective. When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.

Removing the saw blade (fig. B)
Warning! Burn hazard: Do not touch the blade
immediately after use. Contact with the blade may
result in personal injury.
● Rotate the blade clamp collar (2) anti-clockwise.
● Remove blade (4)
Adjusting the pivot shoe (fig. C, D)
The retracted blade length should be longer than the width
of the workpiece. If the blade is shorter, the tip will jam in
the workpiece during cutting, possibly causing injury and
damaging the blade or workpiece. To adjust the pivot shoe (3)
and the blade extension:
● Loosen both cap screws on the underside of the
front cover.
● Adjust the pivot shoe (3) in or out as needed as shown in
figure D .
● Tighten the cap screws. Do not over tighten.

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
@
not overload.
Warning! Never use the tool when the pivot shoe is
loose or removed.
Switching on and off (fig. E)
The variable speed on/off switch offers a choice of speeds for
greatly improved cutting rates in various materials.
● To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch (1).
The speed depends on how far you depress the switch.
● To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
● To switch the tool off, when in continuous operation, press
the variable speed switch once more and release it.
Sawing
● Always hold the tool with both hands.
● Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
● Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
● If possible, work with the pivot shoe plate (4) pressed
against the workpiece. This will improve tool control and
reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from
being damaged.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
● Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
● Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe (4)
pressed against the workpiece.
Flush cutting
The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing
and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to floors, corners and
other difficult areas.
To maximize flush cutting capabilities:
● Insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth
of the blade facing up.
