GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Tool Use and Care
■ Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
■ Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which ii is designed.
■ Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
■ Disconnect battery pack from tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Service
■ Tool service must be performed by a qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
■ Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
■ When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
■ 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
sparks, burns, or a fire.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation 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.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
■ Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
■ Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. They may explode. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
■ Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your prod-
uct will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least
16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
■ Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but less
than 100°F. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Important Rules For Battery Tools
■ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when chang-
ing accessories.

battery pack. Return battery pack to your nearest
Sears Repair Center for checking or replacing.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it until light on front of charger changes
from red to green.
■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the
red light will turn OFF and the green light will turn ON.
■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charging time is required
to be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
battery pack.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (cutting followed by
recharging) for them to become fully charged.
TO CHARGE
■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
■ When the batteries become fully charged, unplug your
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
■ Attach battery pack to charger by aligning raised ribs
on battery pack with grooves in charger, then slide
battery back onto charger. See Figure 8.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
Soft Start
Ready
Under extreme continuous use, the batteries in your
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 1 hour before attempt-
ing to recharge. When the battery pack becomes dis-
charged and is hot, this will cause the red light on your
battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down,
red light will glow continuously indicating fast charging
mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools
down, it will recharge battery pack in fast charging mode
as normal.
GROOVES
Fig. 8
■ Red light should turn on. Red light indicates fast
charging mode.
If red light is flashing, this indicates battery pack is
deeply discharged or hot.
Note: This situation only occurs when extreme continuous
use of your saw causes the batteries to become hot. It
does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
"CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Sears repair center for
electrical check.
If battery pack is hot, red light should become steady
after battery pack has cooled down.
If battery pack is deeply discharged, red light should
become steady after voltage has increased, normally
within 60 minutes.

BASE (SHOE) ASSEMBLY
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 9.
See Figure 10.
The base assembly of your reciprocating saw pivots up
and down in both directions. It also is adjustable, allowing
the use of the blade teeth at different positions on the
blade.
TO CHANGE POSITIONS OF BASE ASSEMBLY:
■ Remove battery pack. See Figure 3.
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw
could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
■ Loosen the set screw in the gear frame with the blade
wrench provided with this saw. See Figure 9.
■ Reposition base assembly to desired position.
■ Retighten set screw securely. Do not overtighten
screw or use an aid with blade wrench.
■ Remove blade wrench and store it in wrench holder.
Fig. 10
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be
sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces
should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the
work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress
the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to start the
cutting action. Place the base assembly against the work,
then move the blade into the work. Do not force. Use
only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let the
blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive pressure
that causes bending or twisting of the blade may result in
broken blades.

METAL CUTTING
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 11.
See Figure 12.
Fig. 12
Fig. 11
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful
not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force. We
recommend cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and
steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades cool, increase
cutting action, and prolong blade life.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting
point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the
blade over that point. Rest front edge of base assembly
on work and hold firmly in position. Depress the lock-off
button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work
in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin
sheet material, "sandwich" the material between
hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate
vibration and material tearing.
WARNING: Make sure blade does not touch work
until motor reaches full speed, since this could cause
loss of control resulting in serious injury.
Withsawbladeatfullcuttingspeed, slowlytiltsawdownward
until tip of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates
work, tilt saw until blade is perpendicular to the work.

MAINTENANCE
Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can
damage tool as well as workpiece.
WARNING: When servicing use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are intended
to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced by a qualified service technician at an
authorized service facility.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or
create accessories not recommended for use with
this tool. Any such alteration or modification is
misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy

BATTERIES
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above normal room temperature will
shorten battery life.
Your saw's battery pack is equipped with 15 nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,
could result in a serious burn.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your tool for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
