10.3 Shoe adjustment (obr. 7)
▪ Pull-open the quick-change lever (3) to the max. angle, pull or push the shoe (1) to a
desired position.
▪ Push-back the lever to lock it,pull or push the shoe to ensure it is immovable.
Note: Do not operate the reciprocating saw if the adjustable shoe is not
installed.
WARNING: Cutting into electrical wiring in walls can cause blade, blade
clamp, and saw bar assembly to become electrically live. Do not touch
metal parts when cutting into a wall; grasp only the insulated gripping
surfaces provided by the tool. Make sure hidden electrical wiring, water
pipes, and mechanical hazards are not in the blade path when cutting into a
wall.
11 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
▪ Slide a fully charged battery pack into the bottom of the handle, making sure that it clicks
into place. Be sure the battery pack is securely seated into the saw handle so it will not fall
off during use.
▪ Firmly hold the reciprocating saw with both hands. Position the Blade near the work piece,
depress the lock-off button (4) and hold the ON/OFF switch trigger (5) down.
▪ Release the lock-off button once the tool has power. Allow the saw to come up to full
speed before addressing it to the work piece.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the saw if the saw blade is in contact with
anything before operation. If necessary, lift the tool from the work piece
before squeezing the ON/OFF switch trigger.
▪ In preparation for making a cut, place the pivot shoe assembly (1) on the surface to be cut.
Align the saw blade with the direction of the cut and slowly lower the saw blade onto the
cut line to begin the cut. Do not attempt to cut with the tip of the blade; kickback and
damage to the blade could result.
▪ When finished cutting, release the ON/OFF switch trigger to stop the tool.
▪ Remove the battery pack and the saw blade.
▪ Clean, then store the saw indoors and out of children’s reach.
11.1 General cutting
Clamp your work piece if it is portable. Rest the front shoe of the saw on your work piece (be
sure the blade is not contacting the work piece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in
the direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the work piece at all times. Do
not force the cut or stall the saw. Don’t bend or twist the blade, let the tool and the blade do
the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are for
cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher speed. If
the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade. Replace blades when
they become dull. Dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
