HOW TO USE THE CORDLESS
RECIPROCATING SAW
CAUTION:
Avoid carrying it with your finger on the switch. A
sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury.
Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc.,
enter the inside of the machine through the
plunger section during operation. If sawdust and
the like accumulate in the plunger section, always
clean it before use.
Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 5).
Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front
cover.
During use, press the base against the material
while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is
not pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes
contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the
saw blade.
Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.
Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the
saw blade after subtracting the stroke should be
larger than the material (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 19).
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc.,
that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there
is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner
wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage.
(Fig. 18, Fig. 20)
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the causes
of overloading.

(2) Trigger switch
This tool is equipped with a variable speed controlled
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The blade plunger
stroke rate can be adjusted from the minimum to
maximum nameplate stroke rate by the pressure you
apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.
2. Cutting metallic materials
CAUTION:
Press the base firmly against the workpiece.
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade
when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.
The motor can be locked sometimes, depending
on the combination of the material to be cut and
the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch
it off immediately.
