GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 mains-

operated (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 a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

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) 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

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, 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

a) 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.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and infirm persons away.

Whennotinuse, tools should be storedoutofreach of children and

infirm persons.

䡬Cutting mild steel plates, aluminum plates, and

copper plates.

䡬Cutting synthetic resins, such as phenol resin and

vinyl chloride.

For details refer to the section entitled “SELECTION OF

BLADES”.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms

to the power requirement specified on the product

nameplate.

2. Power switch

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.

If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the

power switch is in the ON position, the power tool

will start operating immediately, which could cause

a serious accident.

3. Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power

source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness

and rated capacity. The extension cord should be

kept as short as practicable.

4. Dust produced in operation

The dust produced in normal operation may affect

the operator’s health. To wear a dust mask is

recommended.

5. Mounting the blade

This unit employs a detachable mechanism that

enables mounting and removal of saw blades

without the use of a wrench or other tools.

(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times

so that the lever can jump out of the front cover

completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and

unplug the power cord. (Fig. 1)

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off

and the power cord unplugged to prevent any

accident.

(2) Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark

shown in Fig. 2 marked on the lever. (Fig. 2)

(3) Insert the saw blade all the way into the small slit

of the plunger tip with the lever pushing. You can

mount this blade either in the upward or downward

direction. (Fig. 3, Fig. 4)

(4) When you release the lever, the spring force will

return the lever to the correct position automatically.

(Fig. 5)

PRECAUTIONS ON USING RECIPROCATING

SAW

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Prior to cutting into walls, ceilings or floors, ensure

there are no electric cables or conduits inside.

01Eng_CR13VC_EE 11/10/10, 13:237

English

(5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times

by hand and check that the blade is securely

mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know

it is properly mounted if it clicks and the lever

moves slightly. (Fig. 6)

CAUTION

When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to

pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade

will result in an injury.

6. Dismounting the blade

(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times

so that the lever can jump out of the front cover

completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and

unplug the power cord. (Fig. 1)

CAUTION

Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off

and the power cord unplugged to prevent any

accident.

(2) After you have pushed the lever in the direction

of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 2, turn the blade

so it faces downward. The blade should fall out by

itself. If the blade doesn’t fall out, pull it out by

hand.

CAUTION

Never touch the saw blade immediately after use.

The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.

WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN

Even when the saw blade is broken and remains

inside the small slit of the plunger, it should fall

out if you push the lever in the direction of the

arrow mark, and face the blade downward. If it

doesn’t fall out itself, take it out using the procedures

explained below.

(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out

of the small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding

part and take the blade out.

(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small

slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another

saw blade and take it out. (Fig. 7)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAW BLADE

MOUNT

(1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture,

etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc.,

to ensure that the blade mount can function

smoothly.

(2) As shown in Fig. 8, carry out lubrication around the

blade holder on a periodic basis by use of cutting

fluid, etc.

NOTE:

Continued use of the tool without cleaning and

lubricating the area where the saw blade is installed

can result in some slack movement of the lever due

to accumulated sawdust and chips. Under the

circumstances, pull a rubber cap provided on the

lever in the direction of an arrow mark as shown

in Fig. 9 and remove the rubber cap from the lever.

Then, clean up the inside of the blade holder with

air and the like and carry out sufficient lubrication.

The rubber cap can be fitted on if it is pressed firmly

onto the lever. At this time, make certain that there

exists no clearance between the blade holder and

the rubber cap, and furthermore ensure that the

saw-blade-installed area can function smoothly.

CAUTION:

Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade

hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come off,

resulting in personal injury. (Fig. 10)

7. Adjusting the base

(1) Lift the front cover up as illustrated in Fig. 11.

(2) If a base setting screw is loosened with an attached

hexagonal bar wrench, you can adjust a base

installing position. (Fig. 12, Fig. 13)

(3) After adjusting the base installing position, tighten

the base setting screw with the attached hexagonal

bar wrench completely.

8. Adjusting the blade reciprocating speed

This unit has a built-in electronic control circuit that

makes it possible to adjust the variable speed of

the saw blade either both by pulling a switching

trigger or turning a dial. (Fig. 14)

(1) If you pull the trigger further in, the speed of the

blade accelerates. Begin cutting at a low speed to

ensure the accuracy of your target cut position.

Once you’ve obtained a sufficient cutting depth,

increase the cutting speed.

(2) On the dial scale, “5” is the maximum speed and

“1” the minimum. The high speed is generally

suitable for soft materials such as wood, and the

low speed is suitable for hard materials such as

metal. We recommend that you use the following

as a rough guide in selecting the suitable speed

for the materials you are cutting.

CAUTION

䡬When cutting at low speed (scale of 1 – 2), never

cut a wooden board more than 10 mm thick or a

mild steel plate more than 2 mm thick. The load

on the motor can result in overheating and damage.

䡬Although this unit employs a powerful motor,

prolonged use at a low speed will increase the load

unduly and may lead to overheating. Properly adjust

the saw blade to allow steady, smooth cutting

operation, avoiding any unreasonable use such as

sudden stops during cutting operation.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION

䡬Avoid carrying it plugged to the outlet with your

finger on the switch. A sudden startup can result

in an unexpected injury.

䡬Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc.,

enter the inside of the machine through the plunger

section during operation. If sawdust and the like

accumulate in the plunger section, always clean it

before use.

䡬Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 1).

Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front

cover.

䡬During use, press the base against the material

while cutting.

Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is

not pressed firmly against the workpiece.

Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes

contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the

saw blade.

䡬Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.

Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the

saw blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should

be larger than the material (see Fig. 15 and

Fig. 17).

If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc.,

that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there

is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner

wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage.

(Fig. 16, Fig. 18)

䡬To maximize cutting efficiency for the materials you

are using and working conditions, adjust the speed

of the saw blade.

1. Cutting metallic materials

CAUTION

䡬Press the base firmly against the workpiece.

䡬Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw

blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the

blade.

(1) Fasten a workpiece firmly before operation. (Fig. 19)

(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine

oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine

oil, apply grease over the workpiece.

CAUTION

The service life of the saw blade will be drastically

shortened if you don’t use machine oil.

(3) Use the dial to adjust the speed of the saw blade

to suit your working conditions and materials.

2. Cutting lumber

(1) When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece

is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 20)

(2) You can cut efficiently if the speed of the saw blade

is set to dial scale “5”.

CAUTION

䡬Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw

blade when cutting. Also remember to press the

base against the lumber firmly.

3. Sawing curved lines

We recommend that you use the BI-METAL blade

mentioned in Table 2 for the saw blade since it is

tough and hardly breaks.

CAUTION

Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into

small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may

break the blade.

4. Plunge cutting

With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on

plywood panels and thin board materials. You can

carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw

blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 22,

Fig. 24, and Fig. 26. Use the saw blade that is as

short and thick as possible. We recommend for this

purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132

mentioned in Table 2. Be sure to use caution during

the cutting operation and observe the following

procedures.

(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base

against the material. Pull the switch trigger while

keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the

material. (Fig. 21, Fig. 22)

(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw

blade little by little. (Fig. 23, Fig. 24)

(3) Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely

cuts into the material. (Fig. 25, Fig. 26)

CAUTION

䡬Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can

easily damage the blade.

䡬Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the

saw blade tip is pressed against the material. If you

do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it

collides with the material.

䡬Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while

holding the body firmly. If you apply any

unreasonable force to the saw blade during the

cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.

SELECTION OF BLADES

To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results, it

is very important to select the appropriate blade best

suited to the type and thickness of the material to be cut.

NOTE:

䡬Dimensions of the workpiece mentioned in the table

represent the dimensions when the mounting

position of the base is set nearest to the body of

the reciprocating saw. Caution must be exercised

since dimensions of the workpiece will become

smaller if the base is mounted far away from the

body of the reciprocating saw.

1. Selection of HCS blades

The blade number of HCS blades in Table 1 is

engraved in the vicinity of the mounting position

of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring

to Tables 1 and 3below.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the blade

Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will

result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause

overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with

a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws:

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure

that they are properly tightened. Should any of the

screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure

to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the

power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding

does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or

water.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 27)

The Motor employs carbon brushes which are

consumable parts. When they become worn to or

near the “wear limit”, it could result in motor trouble.

When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the

motor will stop automatically.

At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new

ones which have the same carbon brush Numbers

shown in the figure. In addition, always keep carbon

brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely

within the brush holders.

5. Replacing carbon brushes:

Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head

screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily

removed.
