To install: Lock the switch trigger by sliding the lock-off button into the locked position. Insert the battery pack into the product as shown. Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap into place and the battery pack is secured before beginning operation. To remove: Lock the switch trigger by sliding the lock-off button into the locked position. Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack and remove the battery pack from the tool. For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manual for your battery pack and charger. OVERLOAD PROTECTION When the tool is forced or overloaded, the Li-ion battery pack will automatically shut off the tool. To reset the tool, release the trigger and resume operation.

Release the blade clamp lever to lock the blade into place. To remove the blade: Remove the battery pack. Lift the release lever to release the blade from the blade clamp. VARIABLE SPEED 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 electrically 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. 6 - English
