OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE BLADE ORBIT
ACTION (FIG. 6)
This reciprocating saw has the option of
orbit action to make the blade swing slightly
as it cuts. Orbital cutting action is conducive
to removing saw-dust, which increases the
cutting efciency. Straight cutting is best
for making smooth cuts and orbital cutting
action is best for making a faster cut.
1. Remove the battery pack from the tool.
2. Turn the orbit selection lever to the
“
” position for orbital cutting action.
3. Turn the orbit selection lever to the
“ ” position for straight cutting
action.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the tool,
always allow the motor to come to a
complete stop before using the blade-
orbit selection lever.
NOTICE: Do not use the orbital cutting
action setting when cutting a metal.

GENERAL CUTTING
WARNING:
Before attaching the
battery pack to the tool, always check
to determine that the switch performs
properly and returns to the “OFF” position
when released.
WARNING:
Hold the tool only by
the plastic handle and the insulated grip
area to help prevent electrical shock.
When sawing into walls or floors you may
encounter electrical wiring. Sawing into a
“live” wire will cause electric shock.
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Make sure that the workpiece is rmly
clamped.
3. Use the appropriate type and size of
blade for the workpiece material and size.
4. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make
sure that the blade will extend beyond the
shoe and the workpiece at all times.
5. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to
expose unworn blade teeth for longer
blade life.
6. Check for clearance behind the
workpiece so that the blade will not
impact another surface.
7. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting
metal, see METAL CUTTING section.
8. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
9. Hold the saw rmly with both hands.
Make sure to keep your hands on the
insulated gripping areas only.
