Adjusting the shoe
If Provided (Country specific)
When the recipro saw blade loses its cutting efficiency 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 recipro saw blade.
The position of the shoe can be adjusted in five levels.
To reposition the shoe, open the shoe adjusting lever and select
the suitable position, then close the shoe adjusting lever.

NOTICE:
The shoe cannot be secured if it is extended
more than the marking of

close the shoe adjusting lever forcibly in such a posi-
tion.
It may result in breakage of the lever.
NOTE:
The shoe cannot be adjusted without opening
the shoe adjusting lever fully.
Hook
CAUTION:
When hanging the tool, set the
lock/speed change lever in position to lock

Hook
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
To use the hook, simply lift up hook until it snaps into
the open position.
When not in use, always lower hook until it snaps into
the closed position.

Installing or removing the recipro
saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the blade and around the
blade clamp.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
To install the recipro saw blade, always make sure that
the blade clamp lever (part of the blade clamp sleeve)
is in released position
on the insulation cover before
inserting the recipro saw blade. If the blade clamp lever
is in fixed position, rotate the blade clamp lever in the
direction of the arrow so that it can be locked at the
released positon .

Fixed position
Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far
as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes
the recipro saw blade. Make sure that the recipro saw
blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull
it out.

CAUTION:
If you do not insert the recipro saw
blade deep enough, the recipro saw blade may be
ejected unexpectedly during operation.
This can
be extremely dangerous.
To remove the recipro saw blade, rotate the blade
clamp lever in the direction of the arrow fully. The reci
-
pro saw blade is removed and the blade clamp lever is
fixed at the released position
.
