GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make
a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to

FIG. 7
Switch-lock
Button
Autosense Lock High Speed
The switch-lock button can lock the switch
in the off position. It also switches between
two speed modes: “A” for autosense and“H”
for high speed.
Autosense mode: Push the switch-lock
button to the far right position marked
“A” to activate the autosense mode. The
autosense mode is mainly focused on steel
pipe cutting application. This function helps
user hold the tool with no-load speed to 400
SPM to reduce vibration, once the blade
engaged the work piece, it will reach to the
highest speed (up to 2000 SPM) which is the
most suitable speed setting for steel pipe
cutting.
In autosense mode, the variable speed is
non-adjustable.
NOTE: Do not use the autosense mode
when the blade is already engaged into
workpiece; a low-speed startup is for better
saw blade alignment which helps to achieve
smoother start of the cut.
Lock mode: Press the switch-lock button
to the middle position marked “
”to lock
the trigger switch and reduce the chance of
unintentionally starting the tool.
High speed mode: Push the switch-lock
button to the far left position marked “H”
to activate the high speed mode. In high
speed mode, the speed is controlled by
the pressure applied on the variable-speed
trigger switch.

area to help prevent electric shock. You
may encounter electrical wiring when saw-
ing into walls or floors. Sawing into a “live”
wire will cause electric shock.
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly
clamped in place.
3. Use the appropriate type and size of
blade for the workpiece material and
thickness.
4. Check for clearance behind the
workpiece so that the blade will not
impact another surface.
5. Mark the line of cut clearly. If cutting
metal, apply cutting oil to the line.
6. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
7. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and
away from you. Make sure to keep your

PLUNGE CUTTING (FIG. 11)
A
B
FIG. 11
12. When sawing fiberglass, plaster,
wallboard, or spackling compound,
clean the ventilation slots frequently
with a vacuum or compressed air.
These materials are highly abrasive
and may accelerate the wear on motor
parts.
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields
when using compressed air to clean the
tool. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
OPERATION
NOTE: Cutting speeds depend on the
material to be cut. Hard materials, such as
metals, require lower speeds. For softer
materials, use higher speeds. Do not force
the saw. Let the blade and saw do the work.
NOTICE: When cutting pipes, especially
above/overhead, water may get into the
blade clamp causing rust buildup and
damage of the clamp and blade. To prevent
this, remove the blade and clean the blade
and blade clamp with soft cloth, then apply
WD-40 or similar lubricant to the blade
clamp.
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge
cutting directly into surfaces that cannot be
cut from an edge, such as in walls or floors.
Plunge cutting may be done in two ways,
depending on how the blade is inserted.
Fig. 11 (A) shows how to plunge cut with the
teeth of the blade facing down.
Fig. 11 (B) shows how to plunge cut with the
teeth of the blade facing up.
NOTICE: Autosense mode is not suitable
for plunge cutting due to the sharp speed
change after loading.
WARNING:
Do not plunge cut into
metal surfaces.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
explosion, electric shock and property
damage, always check the work area for
hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water
pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of con-
trol and serious injury, make sure that the
blade reaches maximum speed before it
touches the workpiece.
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly
clamped in place.
3. Use the appropriate type and size of
blade for the workpiece material and
thickness.
Page 15
4. Check for clearance behind the
workpiece so that the blade will not
impact another surface.
5. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
6. Hold the tool firmly, resting the edge of
the shoe on the workpiece.
7. With the blade just above the workpiece,
press the switch-lock button to unlock
the trigger switch and select a speed
mode. Squeeze the variable-speed
trigger switch to start the saw and
bring it to the maximum desired cutting
speed.
8. Use the edge of the shoe as a pivot
and raise the gripping handle of the
tool slowly. As the blade starts cutting,
plunging the blade into the workpiece
until the shoe rests firmly on the
workpiece.
9. After the blade has penetrated through
the workpiece and the shoe is fully
rested on the workpiece, continue
sawing along the marked cutting line.
OPERATION
METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such
as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper. Be careful not to twist or
bend the saw blade. Do not force the tool.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when
cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will
keep the blade cool, increase cutting action,
and prolong blade life.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in
position and make the cut close to the
clamping point to minimize vibration.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle
iron, clamp the workpiece in a vise, if
possible, and cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich”
the material between pieces of
hardboard or plywood and clamp the
layers together to reduce vibration and
tearing of the material.
WARNING:
Never use gasoline as
cutting lubricant, because normal sparking
could ignite the fumes.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check for damaged, missing, or worn
parts.
2. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the operation.
3. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the tool off immediately and have
the problem corrected before further
use.
4. Using compressed air may be the most
effective cleaning method. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools
using compressed air.
5. If water gets into the blade clamp,
remove the blade and clean the blade
and blade clamp with soft cloth, then
apply WD-40 or similar lubricant to the
blade clamp.
NOTICE: Failure to timely clean and
lubricate the blade clamp will cause rusting
and damage.
6. Store the tool indoors in a place that
is inaccessible to children. Keep away
from corrosive agents.
WARNING:
