English (2) As shown in Fig. 12, carry out lubrication around the blade holder on a periodic basis by use of cutting fluid, etc. Blade holder Machine oil Lever 3. Adjusting the base Loosen the hex socket bolt with an Allen wrench and move the base forward, as shown in Fig. 15, Fig. 16. Tighten the hex socket bolt slightly, ensure the base does not move back and forth, and firmly tighten the hex socket bolt. Ensure that the base does not contact the blade. Hex. socket Base bolt 4 mm Allen wrench Fig. 12 NOTE: Continued use of the tool without cleaning and lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed can result in some slack movement of the lever due to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown in Fig. 13 and remove the rubber cap from the lever. Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with air and the like and carry out sufficient lubrication. The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there exists no clearance between the blade holder and the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the sawblade-installed area can function smoothly. Lever Fig. 15 Base Fig. 16 4. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly. HOW TO USE THE CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAW Rubber cap Fig. 13 CAUTION: Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off, resulting in personal injury. (Fig. 14) Blade Fig. 14 Blade hole 14 CAUTION: ⅜ Avoid carrying it with your finger on the switch. A sudden startup can result in an unexpected injury. ⅜ 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. ⅜ 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. ⅜ 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).
