OPERATION
USING YOUR 20V MAX LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS
RECIPROCATING SAW
Important Note: This Reciprocating Saw does not come
with a battery or charger, if you already own a 20V max
Li-ion cordless tool you may use its battery (K-020LBT)
and charger (K-020LCG) as they are interchangeable. If
not, it will be necessary to purchase a battery and
charger.
WARNING: Do not install battery until the accessory is
installed securely to the tool. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses, an accessory can become extremely
hot during operation, danger of burns!
Charging the battery/battery level indicator
20V max Li-ion batteries come with a battery power level
indicator (A) Fig.2, press the button (B) to see the charge
level. If the battery level is low charge the battery. To
charge the battery (C) Fig.2, plug charger (D) power cord
into a 120V AC receptacle (do not use extension cord).
The green LED (E) will flash to indicate power to the
charger. Align the grooves the battery with those of the
charger and slide the battery all the way until it snaps into
place. The red LED (F) will light up indicating the
charging procedure has begun. Once the green LED (E)
lights up, the battery is fully charged and ready to use.
Press the battery clip (B) Fig.3 to remove battery from
charger.
Installing/removing battery from drill
To install a battery (A) Fig.3 to the base of the cordless
Reciprocating saw, align the grooves of the battery with
those of the saw base and slide the battery all the way
until the battery clip (B) snaps and holds the battery into
place.
To remove the battery from the base, press the battery
clip (B) Fig.3 and slide the battery away from the base.
Turning Tool On/Off
To turn your Reciprocating Saw ON, depress and hold the safety button (A) Fig.4, then
depress the trigger (B). Release trigger to turn your saw OFF.
Variable speed trigger
Your cordless Reciprocating Saw is equipped with a variable speed trigger (B) Fig.4. The
speed can be controled from the minimum to the maximum strokes/min just by the
pressure applied to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase speed and apply less
pressure to decrease speed. Release trigger to stop saw.

OPERATION
Blade selection
To obtain the best performance from your saw it is
important to select a specific blade for the particular
application and type of material you wish to cut. By doing
this you will get a smoother, faster cut and prolong blade
life.
Installing a blade
DISCONNECT BATTERY FROM TOOL BASE.
1) To install a blade into the “tool-less blade change
system”, with the Reciprocating Saw positioned as shown in Fig.5, simply turn the spring
tension blade clamp (A) Fig.5 counterclockwise and hold it in this position.
2) Insert the saw blade (B) through the pivot shoe (C) and then into the blade clamp (A).
3) Once the blade is fully inserted into the blade clamp, release the spring tension blade
clamp to lock the blade in place. Before using, make sure the blade is secure and can
not be pulled out of the spring tension blade clamp.
Warning! Before removing a blade after any operation, let the blade cool down before
attempting to remove it and touching it with your fingers, risk of burning!
CUTTING OPERATION
WARNING: Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
General Cutting
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear
of any foreign material. Be sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should
be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work bench or table. Mark the line of
cut clearly. Start the Reciprocating Saw, set the pivot shoe assembly against the work, then
move the blade into the work. DONOT FORCE. Use only enough pressure to keep the
saw cutting. Let the blade do the work.
Plunge Cutting
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting point inside the area to be cut out
and place the tip of the blade over that point. Rest front edge of pivot shoe assembly on
work and hold firmly in position.
Figure 5
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Plunge Cutting... continued
WARNING: Make sure blade does not touch work until motor reaches full speed, since this
can cause loss of control resulting in serious injury.
With saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward until tip of blade starts
cutting work. After blade penetrates work, tilt saw until it is perpendicular to the work.
Metal Cutting
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass and copper may be cut with
your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. DONOTFORCE. We recommend
cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades cool,
increasing cutting action, and prolonging blade life.
Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the
work being cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a vise if possible
and cut close to the vise. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between hard-
board or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE
Preventative maintance performed by an unauthorized personnel may result in the
misplacement of internal wires and componenets which could cause serious hazards. We
recommend that all servicing be performed by a qualified KING CANADA service centre
technician.
Battery
Pay attention to the battery power levels as the battery nears its end of life. If you notice a
decrease in battery performance or a significant difference in running power between
charges, then it is time to replace the battery. Failure to do so may damage the charger
and cause improper operation.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always remove the battery from the tool before cleaning. The tool is
most effectively cleaned with the use of an air compressor. Always wear safety glasses
when using an air compressor. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean
and free of foreign objects. Do not insert pointed objects through these openings in the
attempt to clean them.
1. Air vents of the tool should be cleaned regularly to avoid overheating of the motor which
is caused by the blocking of the air vents.
2. DON’T clean this tool with water, as no liquid is allowed in the tool body. Clean the tool
with a dry clean cloth only. Compressed air at low pressure is also suitable.
3. DON’T allow petroleum based products to come into contact with the plastic parts of the
tool, as they contain chemicals that can damage or destroy the plastic parts.
