SPECIFICATIONS

• Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.
• Specifications may differ from country to country.
  The weight may differ depending on the attachment(s). The lightest and heaviest combinations, according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2014, are shown in the table.

Intended use

The tool is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and building materials with a strong impact. It is suitable for straight and curved cutting.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply ofthe same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

Noise

The typical A-weighted noise level is determined according to EN62841-2-11:
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 88 dB(A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 99 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
WARNING: The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Vibration The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) is determined according to EN62841-2-11:
Work mode: cutting boards V
vibration emission (ah,B) : 19.5 m/s 2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s 2
Work mode: cutting wooden beams
Vibration emission (ah,WB) 19.5 m/s 2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s 2

NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea- sures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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.

Recipro saw safety warnings

1. Hold the 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. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sunglasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut the oversize workpieces.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with.
15. Some material contains chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
16. Before the operation, make sure that there is no buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe or gas pipe in the workpiece. Otherwise, the recipro saw blade may touch them, resulting an electric shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking the function on the tool. Switch action
WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
WARNING: Switch can be locked in the “ON” position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution when locking tool in the “ON” position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
CAUTION: Return the switch trigger to the “OFF” position in case of an accidental unplugging,  blackout, or the power is cut unintentionally. Otherwise, the tool may start suddenly when the power returns and it may result in personal injury.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying ouany work on the tool.
Installing or removing the recipro saw blade
CAUTION: Always clean out all chips or for- eign matter adhering to the blade and around the blade clamp. Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
Before installing the recipro saw blade, always make sure that the blade clamp lever (part of the blade clamp sleeve) is in a released position on the insulation cover. If the blade clamp lever is in a fixed position, rotate the blade clamp lever in the direction of the arrow so that it can be locked at the released position .
► Fig.5: 1. Blade clamp lever 2. Released position
3. Fixed position
Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes the recipro saw blade. Make sure that the recipro saw blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull it out.
► Fig.6: 1. Recipro saw blade 2. Blade clamp sleeve
CAUTION: If you do not insert the recipro saw blade deep enough, the recipro saw blade may be ejected unexpectedly during operation. This can be extremely dangerous.
To remove the recipro saw blade, rotate the blade clamp lever in the direction of the arrow fully. The recipro saw blade is removed and the blade clamp lever is fixed at the released position .
► Fig.7: 1. Recipro saw blade 2. Blade clamp lever
CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers away from the lever during the switching operation. Failure to do so may cause personal injuries.
NOTE: If you remove the recipro saw blade without rotating the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be locked in the released position . In this case, rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make sure that the blade clamp lever is locked at the released position .
NOTE: If the blade clamp lever is positioned inside the tool, switch on the tool just a second to let the blade out. Unplug the tool before installing or removing the recipro saw blade.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on insulation cover and the other on the switch handle.
CAUTION: Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece during operation. If the shoe is removed or held away from the workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying chips when cutting metal.
CAUTION: Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which conforms with current national standards.
CAUTION: Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade wear.
CAUTION: Do not quirk the blade during cutting.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the tool to bounce. Bring the recipro saw blade into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to continue cutting. ► Fig.8
NOTICE: Do not cut the workpiece with the shoe away from the workpiece or without the shoe. Doing so increases the reaction force which may break the recipro saw blade.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
