20V 7/8" RECIPROCATING SAW
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Installing and Removing the Saw Blade
Blade Selection
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for
the particular application and type of material to be cut.
Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch (TPI), are typically used for cutting wood;
blades with more teeth per inch are better for cutting metal or plastic.
We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard
metals
To install the saw blade:
a. Remove the battery pack from the reciprocating saw.
b. Use one hand to rotate the tool-less blade clamp sleeve in the direction of the arrow
and then hold it in place.
c. Use the other hand to insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as possible.
d. Release the tool-less blade clamp sleeve, and the blade should be locked in place
automatically.
e. Try to push in and pull out blade to check whether it is locked correctly.
NOTICE:
The blade may be installed with the teeth pointing up or down, according to the
needs of the cutting operation.
To remove the saw blade:
a. Remove the battery pack from the reciprocating saw.
b. Use one hand to rotate the tool-less blade clamp sleeve in the direction of the arrow

WARNING:
Use protective gloves when removing the saw blade from the tool,
or first allow the saw blade to cool down. The saw blade may be hot after prolonged
use.
