The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
LED WORK LIGHT
The LED work light, located on the front of the saw head,
illuminates when the switch trigger is depressed.
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 4, page 10.
WARNING:
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade, the
blade clamp, and the saw bar assembly to become elec-
trically live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting into a
wall; grasp only the insulated surfaces on the tool. Make
sure hidden electrical wiring, water pipes, and mechanical
hazards are not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until
the motor reaches full speed, since this could cause loss
of control resulting in serious injury.
 Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise or with clamps.
 Mark the line of cut clearly.
 Make sure the saw blade teeth are clean of any debris or
foreign material.
 Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
 Slide the lock-off button to the unlocked position and
depress the switch trigger.
 Allow the saw blade to reach full cutting speed.
 Set the shoe assembly against the workpiece.
NOTE: The shoe assembly of the reciprocating saw pivots
up and down in both directions.
 Move the blade into the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep
the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Keep
pressure on the shoe, against the workpiece.
