OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Shoe Adjustment
For maximum control and longer blade life,
the base shoe (A) slides in or out to adjust the
effective stroke length.
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Press the shoe-release lever (D) to release the
shoe (A).
c. Pull the shoe to the desired position.
d. Release the shoe-release lever to its original
position to lock the shoe.
Pivoting the Shoe
The base shoe (A) pivots to provide maximum
contact with the surface being cut.
a. Hold the saw securely, and then manually pivot
the shoe to the desired angle.
WARNING
• To avoid injury and damage, do not operate the
saw without the shoe in place. The spindle may
strike against the workpiece and damage the
reciprocating mechanism.
6. Orbital-Function Lever
This reciprocating saw has the option of orbital
action to make the blade swing slightly as it cuts.
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Turn the orbital-function lever (E) to the "
position for orbital cutting action.
c. Turn the orbital-function lever to the "
straight cuts without orbital action.
Orbital action increases the speed of the cut but
may result in a rougher finish to the cut in some
materials. Experiment on a piece of scrap material
in order to determine the optimum pendulum
action setting.
