Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

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

orfumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way. Double Insulation []
eliminates the need for the three wire

grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Before plugging in the tool, be

certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use

'_4C only" rated tools with a DC power supply,

Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded. If

operating the power too! in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool.
Electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.

Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
tocarry the tools or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use

an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"

or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use

and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to
"Recommended sizes of Extension Cords" in

the Accessory section of this manual.

Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your

hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long

hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch

is "OFF" before plugging in. Carrying tools

with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch "ON" invites

accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool "ON". A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool

may result in personal injury,

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enables better control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment, Always wear eye

protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be

used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

Use clamps or other practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holdingthe work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to

loss of control.

-3-

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is

designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it

"ON" or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons, Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control. Any

alteration or modification is a misuse and
may result in a dangerous condition.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop
a periodic maintenance schedule for your

tool,

Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

Service
Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.

When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts, Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.

Hold 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. Do not drill, fasten

or break into existing walls or other blind

areas where electrical wiring may exist. If

this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all
fuses or circuit breakers feeding this

worksite.

Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
could cause injury.

Be aware of the location and setting of
the switch "Lock-ON" button. If the switch

is locked "ON" during the use, be ready for
emergency situations to switch it "OFF", by

first pulling the trigger then immediately

releasing it without pressing the "Lock-ON"

button,

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under the material being cut.

The proximity of the blade to your hand is

hidden from your sight.

Keep hands from between the gear
housing and saw blade holder, The

reciprocating blade holder can pinch your

fingers.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent

blade can break easily or cause kickback.

Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and

allow the blade to come to full speed.
Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is
too slow at beginning of cut and possibly

kickback.

-4-

Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.

Secure material before cutting. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs. Small

or thin material may flex or vibrate with the
blade, causing loss of control.

Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a
cut, Loose adjusting screws and holders

can cause the tool or blade to slip and lose of
control may result.

When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper

protective gloves when grasping the

blade or accessory. Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use.

Use only accessories that are sold by
Sears for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

_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, and

• 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, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

adjust or relocate the vise or clamps to keep
the work stable. Do not force the saw or the

blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting
and the blade may break. Let the saw do most
of the work. When following curves, cut slowly
so the blade can cut through cross grain. This
will give you an accurate cut and will prevent
the blade from wandering.

CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHTEDGE
Always use a rough cut blade when possible,

Clamp a straightedge on the work parallel to
the line of cut and flush with the side of the

saw foot, (Either first mark the line of cut and

then position the straightedge parallel and at
the same distance as between the blade and

the side edge of the foot or first mark the side
edge of the foot and then clamp the
straightedge on the mark and parallel to the
cut line Fig. 12).

On models with the scroll feature, it is advised
to lock scroller knob.

As you cut, keep the saw foot edge flush
against the straightedge and fiat on the

workpiece (Fig. 12).

PLUNGE CUTTING
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in
making rough openings in softer materials. It

is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or
pocket cut. Draw lines for the opening, hold

the saw firmly, tilt it forward so that the toe of
the saw foot rests on the work, but with the

blade well clear of the work. Start the motor,
and then very gradually lower the blade.

When it touches, continue pressing down on
the toe of the saw foot slowly pivoting the saw
like a hinge until the blade cuts through and

the foot rests flat on the work. Then saw

ahead on the line of cut line. We do not

recommend plunge cutting with a scroll blade
(Fig. 13).

To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,

then back up slightly before rounding the

BEVEL OR ANGLE CUTTING

To prevent damage to the

tool when bevel or angle

cutting, the scroll mechanism must be locked

in place with the cutting edge of the blade

facing the front of the tool.

Disconnect the cord from the power source.
The foot can be adjusted to cut any angle
lrom 0 ° to 45," and is equipped with quick
reference detent stops at 0°, 15°, 30 °, and 45 °.

TO ADJUST: Lift foot adjustment lever in the
bottom of foot as shown, move foot slightly
backward to disengage the locking tab

METAL CUTTING
When cutting metal clamp material down. Be

extra certain that you move the saw along
slowly. Use lower speeds. Do not twist, bend,

or force the blade. If the saw jumps or
bounces, use a blade with finer teeth, if the

blade seems clogged when cutting soft metal,

use a blade with coarser teeth.

For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a
stick of cutting wax, if available, or cutting oil
when cutting steel. Thin metal should be

sandwiched between two pieces of wood or
tightly clamped on a single piece of wood

(wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut lines

or design on the top piece of wood.
When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle

iron, clamp the work in a bench vise and saw

close to the vise jaws.
When sawing tubing and the diameter is

larger than the blade is deep, cut through the

wail of the tubing and then insert the blade

into the cut rotating the tube as you saw.

the brushes be examined. Only genuine Sears
replacement brushes specially designed for

your tool shouid be used.
Bearings

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings

performed by unauth-

should be replaced at an Authorized Service
Center. Bearings which become noisy (due to
heavy load or very abrasive material cutting)

should be replaced at once to avoid
overheating or motor failure.
