RECIPROCATING SAW

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 red LED (F) will light up 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 green LED (E) will flash indicating the

charging procedure has begun. Once the green LED (E)

stops flashing, 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

hardboard 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.
