etc.
MOTOR
Always check the nameplate to ensure the A.C.
current supply is the correct voltage for your
machine.
This tool will operate on voltage within plus or
minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification
plate on the tool. Refer to the specification plate on
your tool for proper voltage and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the
voltage is not within correct limits.
If an extension cord is used, make sure the
conductor size is large enough to prevent
excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of
power and possible motor damage.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must
be marked with the suffix WA or W following the
cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Always
choose the shortest possible cord.

RECIPROCATING SAW
* Storage case
* Blade
* hex wrench
FOREWORD
This Reciprocating Saw is designed for cutting
metal up to 20mm (3/4”) thick, wood up to 300mm
(12") thick (depending on the blade), and various
other materials, such as plastics, fiberglass, hard
rubber, etc.
SELECTING THE BLADE
For best performance, longer blade life, and
smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job.
When cutting metal always select a blade which
will allow at least three teeth to be engaged in the
thickness of material.
MOUNTING THE BLADE
WARNING: Make sure to unplug the power cord
when mounting or removing the blade.
Warning: Be absolutely sure to hold the flat top
of the blade, instead of the teeth, to prevent
any accident.
The machine is designed that the blade could be
mounted or removed without a wrench or any
other tools.
