. SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to
cordless reciprocating saw safety
rules.
16)Store idle tools out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
17)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.
If you use this tool unsafely or incor-
rectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1) Before each use, it is a good practice
to always inspect this tool for physi-
cal damage. If the tool has been dam-
aged or does not operate properly,
do not use. Have it serviced immedi-
ately by a qualified seviceman.
2) When installing the battery pack,
make sure that it snaps in place and
is mounted to the tool firmly. Replace
the battery pack if it cannot be held
in place securely.
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
18)Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
19)Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operations. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
20)Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for
your model.
3) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
4) Be aware that this tool is always in
an operating condition, it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
5) Always use safety goggles or
glasses with side shields.
Service
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
21)Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
6) Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work-
piece for any nails and remove them
before operation.
7) Do not cut oversized workpiece.
22)When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
8) Check for the proper clearance
beyond the workpiece before cutting
so that the blade will not strike the
floor, workbench, etc.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of shock or injury.
9) Hold the tool firmly.
10) Make sure the blade is not contact-
ing the workpiece before the switch
is turned on.
11) Keep hands away from moving
parts.
12)Always switch off and wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop

the saw blade is firmly fixed and locked.
If the blade clamp does not lock proper-
ly, have the tool serviced by a qualified
repair personnel.
. ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always
remove battery pack before chang-
ing the blade.
Blade
Selecting a blade
The blade clamp sleeve can be used
with all 1/2" shank universal reciprocat-
ing saw blade. When selecting a blade,
choose the right type and length.
WARNING:
If you do not insert the saw blade deep
enough, the saw blade may be eject-
ed unexpectedly during operation.
This can be extremely dangerous.
Choose a length long enough to
extend beyond the shoe and your
work throughout the stroke. Do not use
blades less than 3-9/16" (90 mm) long
since they will not extend beyond the
shoe throughout the stroke.
To remove the saw blade, rotate the
blade clamp sleeve in the direction
of the arrow (clockwise from the front
view) fully. The saw blade is removed
and the blade clamp sleeve is fixed at
the open position. Be careful when han-
dling hot blades after use.
Installing or removing the
saw blade
Blade clamp sleeve
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or foreign
material adhering to the blade, blade
clamp and/or slider before use.
Failure to do so may cause insuf-
ficient tightening of the blade, result-
ing in a serious injury.
NOTE:
Depending on the job, the blade may
be inserted with the teeth facing up or
down. To install the saw blade, always
make sure that the blade clamp sleeve
is in open position before inserting the
saw blade. If the blade clamp sleeve is
in the close position, rotate the sleeve
to the open position until it clicks.
If you remove the saw blade without
rotating the blade clamp sleeve fully,
the sleeve may not be fixed. In this
case, rotate the blade clamp sleeve
fully, then make the sleeve fixed at
the open position.
Blade Clamp Maintenance
Blade clamp sleeve
Always keep blade clamp sleeve clean
and dry after use.
Periodically lubricate blade clamp sleeve
with a dry lubricant. Using wet lubricant
may keep the dust and debris, and
causes malfunction of the blade clamp.

lever, then squeeze the trigger switch.
. OPERATION
Hold tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, keep
hands away from the blade and
other moving parts.
Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields.
Adjusting shoe
Starting and Stopping
When the blade loses its cutting effi-
ciency in one place along its cutting
edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting
edge. This will help to lengthen the life
of the blade. To reposition the shoe,
loosen the shoe lock lever counter-
clockwise and slide the shoe forward
or back to the desired position. Then
tighten the lever clockwise to firmly
secure the shoe.
To start the tool, grasp the handle
firmly. Press the switch lock lever,
which can be pressed in from either
left or right side of the tool.
Then pull the trigger switch.
To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Allow the tool to come to a complete
stop before removing the blade from a
partial cut or before laying the tool down.
Controlling speed by Trig-
ger Switch
Shoe lock lever
The reciprocating saw is equipped
with a trigger speed control switch.
It may be operated at any speed
from zero stroke per minute to full
speed. Always start tool before blade
contacts the workpiece. To vary the
speed, simply increase or decrease
the pressure on the trigger. The further
the trigger is pulled, the greater the
speed.
Shoe
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery pack into
the tool, always check to see that the
trigger switch actuates properly and
returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
Cutting materials
Before the blade contacts the work-
piece, grasp the handle firmly and
pull the trigger. Begin cutting at slow
speed, gradually increasing speed as
you cut. When cutting into materials
or hard materials that can not be cut
from an edge, drill a starting hole larg-
er than the widest part of the blade.
Switch lock lever
CAUTION:
•Always press the shoe firmly
against the workpiece during oper-
ation. If the shoe is held away from
the workpiece during operation,
strong vibration and/or twisting will
be produced, causing the blade to
snap dangerously.
Trigger switch
To prevent the trigger switch from
being accidentally pulled, a lock-off
button switch lock lever is provided.
Always make sure the switch is locked
when carrying or storing the tool to
eliminate unintentional starting.

cutting metal.
Battery Pack Life
•Always use a suitable coolant (cut-
ting oil) when cutting metal. Fail-
ure to do so will cause premature
blade wear.
The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life. If operation time becomes
extremely short after recharging,
replace the battery pack with a new one.
•If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery pack has dis-
charged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with
a fresh battery pack.
NOTE:
Use under extremely hot or cold
conditions will reduce operating
capacity per charge.
Charging
NOTE:
When you charge the battery pack for
the first time, or after prolonged stor-
age, charge it for about 24 hours to
bring the batteries up to full capacity.
Battery charger (EY0110)
Press the shoe firmly against the
workpiece. Do not allow the tool to
bounce. Bring the blade into light con-
tact with the workpiece. First, make
a pilot groove, using a slower speed.
Then use a faster speed to continue
cutting.
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the
plug is inserted into the AC power
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
