GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth
leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a. a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b. b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,

4
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, always wear NIOSH/OSHA approved,
properly fitting face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
3. Only use sharp saw blades. Sharp blades
will do the job better and safer. Replace blade
immediately if dull or damaged.
4. Keep hands away from cutting area. When
sawing never reach underneath or behind
the material being cut for any reason.
5. When you have finished a cut be careful
not to come into contact with the blade.
Turn off the motor immediately.
6. Exercise extreme caution when blind
cutting. Be certain that there are no foreign
objects such as electrical wire, conduit,
plumbing pipes, etc., that may come into
contact with the blade.
7. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always
use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment
should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards.
Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
S3.19 standards.
8. Use of this tool can generate and disburse
dust or other airborne particles, including
wood dust, crystalline silica dust and
asbestos dust. Direct particles away from
face and body. Always operate tool in well
ventilated area and provide for proper dust
removal.Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury, including silicosis (a serious lung
disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing
the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with
dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material. Always use
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with
soap and water.

MOTOR
Always check the nameplate to ensure the A.C.
current supply is the correct voltage for your
machine.
This tool will operate on voltage within plus or
minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification
plate on the tool. Refer to the specification plate on
your tool for proper voltage and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the
voltage is not within correct limits.
If an extension cord is used, make sure the
conductor size is large enough to prevent
excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of
power and possible motor damage.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must
be marked with the suffix WA or W following the
cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Always
choose the shortest possible cord.

FOREWORD
This Reciprocating Saw is designed for cutting
metal up to 20mm (3/4”) thick, wood up to 300mm
(12") thick (depending on the blade), and various
other materials, such as plastics, fiberglass, hard
rubber, etc.
SELECTING THE BLADE
For best performance, longer blade life, and
smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job.
When cutting metal always select a blade which
will allow at least three teeth to be engaged in the
thickness of material.
MOUNTING THE BLADE
WARNING: Make sure to unplug the power cord
when mounting or removing the blade.
Warning: Be absolutely sure to hold the flat top
of the blade, instead of the teeth, to prevent
any accident.
The machine is designed that the blade could be
mounted or removed without a wrench or any
other tools.
1. Press the switch and the shaft will move
forward. Then turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord.
2. Please turn the quick-release collar as shown .
3. Turn the quick-release collar to insert the
blade into the small slot of the shaft. The
blade could be mounted either in the upward
or downward direction. When you release the
quick-release collar, the spring will return
automatically.
4. Pull the blade forth and back for several times
by hand to ensure the blade clicks.

7
5. Sometimes you need to turn the quick-
release collar as shown to ensure the blade is
mounted appropriately when there is dust or
dirt accumulated on the quick-release collar.
Removing the blade
WARNING: Make sure to unplug the power cord
when mounting or removing the blade.
1. Press the switch and the shaft will move
forward. Then turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord.
2. Turn the quick-release collar as shown .
WARNING: Never touch the blade with bare
hands after cutting. The blade is often very hot
after cutting and may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Never use the saw if the fixing slot of
the tip of the blade is damaged.
When the blade is broken If the blade is broken
and remains in the shaft, turn the quick-release
collar and the broken part will fall out. If not, use a
tip of another blade to take it out.
Use compressed air to clean the accumulated chips
on the quick-release collar.
Lubricate the quick-release collar regularly to
prevent from rusting.
WARNING: NEVER TOUCH BLADE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER USE, AS IT MAY BE HOT ENOUGH TO
CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK
THE SAW MUST BE HELD WITH ONE HAND ON
THE MAIN HANDLE AND THE OTHER HAND ON
THE RUBBER GEARCASE COVER. THE RUBBER
GEARCASE COVER MUST BE FREE OF DAMAGE
AND PROPERLY INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES.

VARIABLE SPEED
This saw is equipped with a variable speed control
thumbwheel (500 to 1400 SPM). As the
Thumbwheel is turned to the right, the speed of
the saw blade will increase. The motor is equipped
with electronic feedback circuitry to stabilize
cutting speed, so no matter the load, the motor
will maintain the set cutting speed.
Lower speeds are recommended for most metal
cutting and higher speeds are recommended for
wood. A few practice cuts at various speeds on
scrap materials will allow you find the ideal speed
for each application.
The motor has soft-start function so that it starts
up slowly and builds up to full speed after a few
seconds. This allows the operator to rest the blade
on the intended line of cut before starting. This will
avoid the wobbling blade from biting into the
material at the wrong place.ORBITAL BLADE
MOTION
This saw features orbital cutting motion.
The orbital motion allows the blade to do its work
most effectively. Since the blade teeth point
backward, the machine only cuts on the
backstroke. While the blade is making the forward
stroke it should only lightly slide across. The orbital
motion helps the blade to do this. Therefore,
excessive downforce will defeat this function.
Allow the tool to do the cutting. Excessive
downforce will not speed cutting, it will only cause
premature blade wear, lost teeth, narrowing kerf,
and blade overheating.
SOFT START FUNCTION
The motor has soft-start function so that it starts
up slowly and builds up to full speed after a few
seconds. This allows the operator to rest the blade
on the intended line of cut before starting. This will
avoid the wobbling blade from biting into the
material at the wrong place. Do not start the
machine away from the workpiece or the soft start
function will not be of benefit. Always start with
the blade in contact with the workpiece.
ORBITAL BLADE MOTION
This saw features orbital cutting motion.
The orbital motion allows the blade to do its work
most effectively. Since the blade teeth point
backward, the machine only cuts on the
backstroke. While the blade is making the forward
stroke it should only lightly slide across. The orbital
motion helps the blade to do this. Therefore,
excessive downforce will defeat this function.
Allow the tool to do the cutting. Excessive
downforce will not speed cutting, it will only cause
premature blade wear, lost teeth, narrowing kerf,
and blade overheating.
CAUTION: Never run this machine with the
blade not in contact with a workpiece. The
Orbital Blade Motion will quickly cause the
blade to snap off.

BEFORE YOU START TO WORK
Select the blade best suited for the material to be
cut. For greatest economy, use the shortest blade
suitable for the thickness of the material to be cut.
Be sure the material to be cut is rigid. Small work
pieces should be securely clamped in a bench vise
or with clamps to the work table. As the work
progresses in scroll or curved cut-out pieces, the
material may be readjusted to accommodate the
movement of the saw. The saw cuts freely with
only slight feed pressure. Forcing the saw will not
make it cut faster.
OPERATION
Since the blade (especially long blades) will
wobble side-to-side while running free from the
workpiece, this makes it very difficult to accurately
control the blade's entry point. Therefore, the
technique is to lightly contact the workpiece with
the blade before starting the machine. The motor's
soft start function will make this more controllable.
Do not use full feed pressure until the cut is fully
established.
SAWING WOOD
Remember that because the blade cuts on the
up-stroke (pull) instead of the down-stroke (push)
as in the case of the hand saw, the good or finish
side of the work should face down (away from the
machine) during cutting.
PLUNGE CUTS
Caution: Do not plunge cut metal materials.
This machine can be used for plunge cutting
wood, plywood, drywall and plastic materials.
Clearly mark line of cut on the work.
Hold the front housing with one hand and the rear
handle with the other.
To start the cut, rest the saw on the cutting shoe,
align the blade with the intended line of cut with
the blade NOT touching the workpiece. Start the
saw. Using the shoe as a pivot point, carefully pivot
the saw forward by raising rear handle until
contact with the workpiece is made. Cut slowly
until the blade has cut through the work and
continue raising the rear handle until the saw is
fully perpendicular to the workpiece. Then
continue the cut normally.
POCKET CUTS IN METAL
Since it isn’t possible to blind cut in metal, The
blade entry point must be started by a different
method. Create a slot using an angle grinder or by
drilling a starter hole with a drill.

10
SAWING METAL
When cutting angle metals such as channel
section, I-beam, etc., start the cut in a position
where the greatest number of teeth will contact
the work.
To extend blade life, cutting oil can be applied to
the work surface along the line of the cut.
MAINTENANCE
Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed
air through the motor while running at no load
to clean out accumulated dust. (If operating in
especially dusty conditions, perform this operation
more often.)
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly eat into or
dissolve the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
BRUSH INSPECTION
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All tools will eventually require servicing or
replacement of parts due to wear from normal use.
Always use a qualified service center. SERVICE
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and
must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair
To replace:
simply remove the brush caps and withdraw the
old brushes. Replace with new brushes (always
replace as a pair) ensuring that they align properly
and slide freely. Then replace the brush caps.
Note: If the brushes are only being checked,
then make sure to replace them in the same
position and orientation as before.
STANDARD ACCESSORIES
* 4 mm socket hex key
If the replacement of the power supply
cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an
authorized service center. Incorrectly performed
repairs could lead to injury or death.
