Battery protection system

Lithium-ion battery with star marking

▶ Fig.2: 1. Star marking

Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped with a protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current.

In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool on again.

Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity

Only for battery cartridges with the indicator

To start the tool, depress the lock/speed change lever from either A or B side and pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

Max tool speed can be changed in 2 steps.

• For high speed When the lock/speed change lever is depressed from A side, the stroke speed is at "2".
• For low speed When the lock/speed change lever is depressed from B side, the stroke speed is at "1".

When the lock/speed change lever is in position, the tool is locked and the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Selecting the speed

High speed is suitable for cutting soft materials such as wood. Low speed is suitable for cutting hard materials such as metal.

Material Lock/speed	change lever position	Strokes per minute
WoodALC	2(High speed)	0 - 3,000
Mild SteelStainless SteelCast IronAluminumPlastic	1(Low speed)	0 - 2,300

NOTICE: Always use the recipro saw blade intended for cutting the material that you are going to cut. Especially, when cutting stainless steel or cast iron pipe, be sure to use the recipro saw blade exclusively designed for cutting such materials.

NOTICE: Depending on the materials to be cut, cutting in high speed may shorten the life of the recipro saw blade.

Lighting up the front lamp

▶ Fig.6: 1. Lamp

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.

Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds after releasing the switch trigger.

NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination.

NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the lamp blinks for one minute. In this case, cool down the tool before another operation.

Adjusting the shoe

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.

▶ Fig.7: 1. Shoe 2. Shoe adjusting lever

NOTICE: The shoe cannot be secured if it is extended more than the marking of stamping. Do not close the shoe adjusting lever forcibly in such a position. 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 the switch trigger. (See the section titled “Switch action”.)

⚠️CAUTION: Never hang the tool at high or potentially unstable location.

▶ Fig.8: 1. 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.

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 saw blade

⚠CAUTION: Always clean out all chips or foreign 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.

▶ Fig.9: 1. Blade clamp lever 2. Released position 3. 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.

▶ Fig.10: 1. Recipro saw blade 2. Blade clamp sleeve

⚠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 recipro saw blade is removed and the blade clamp lever is fixed at the released position.

▶ Fig.11: 1. Recipro saw blade 2. Blade clamp lever

⚠️CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers away from the lever during the switching operation. Failure to do so may cause personal injuries.

NOTE: If you remove the recipro saw blade without rotating the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be locked in the released position. In this case, rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make sure that the blade clamp lever locked at the released position.

NOTE: If the blade clamp lever is positioned inside the tool, switch on the tool just a second to let the blade out. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool before installing or removing the recipro saw blade.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece during operation. If the shoe is removed or held away from the workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously.

CAUTION: Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying chips when cutting metal.

CAUTION: Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which conforms with current national standards.

CAUTION: Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade wear.

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not quirk the blade during cutting.

Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the tool to bounce. Bring the recipro saw blade into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.

▶ Fig.12

NOTICE: Do not cut the workpiece with the shoe away from the workpiece or without the shoe. Doing so increases the reaction force which may break the recipro saw blade.

MAINTENANCE

⚠️ CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
