GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!
Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and 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 of 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

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

5

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 these devices 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 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
tools 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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from
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.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infirm persons.

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. 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 holder sleeve to the correct position
automatically. (Fig. 5)

(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)

6

English

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.

5. 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)

6. Adjusting the base

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

7

(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.

7. 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.

Example of materials Recommended

to be cut dial scale

Mild steel pipes /

cast-iron tubes / 2 – 4

L-shaped angle steel

Wood / wood with nails

driven in

Stainless steel 1 – 3

Aluminum / brass / copper 2 – 4

Plaster board 4 – 5

Plastic / fiber board 1 – 3

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.

5

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.

English

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

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 (Page 9) 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 Page 9, 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

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 saber 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 saber 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
