You can use both jig saw blades (B type) and recipro saw
blades according to your work. Insert the recipro/jig saw blade
straight into the blade clamp and tighten it by hex wrench. Pull
the recipro/jig saw blade lightly to make sure that the recipro/
jig saw blade does not fall off during operation.
To remove the recipro/jig saw blade, follow the installa-
tion procedure in reverse.

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

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.
