Loosen
When the 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 blade.
To reposition the shoe, loosen the bolt with hex wrench.
Slide the shoe to the desired position and then tighten
the bolt firmly.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the recipro/jig
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.

Blade clamp sleeve
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.
NOTE:
You can not use the jig saw blade with
JR103D.

If you remove the recipro 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
released position.
