Adjusting the shoe

► Fig.6: 1. Hex wrench 2. Hex bolt 3. Loosen
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place
along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a
sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help
to lengthen the life of the blade.
To reposition the shoe, loosen the bolt with hex wrench.
Slide the shoe to the desired position and then tighten
the bolt firmly.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the blade, blade clamp and/or slider.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient tighten-
ing of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.

► Fig.7: 1. Recipro saw blade 2. Blade clamp sleeve
Insert the recipro saw blade into the blade clamp as far
as it will go. The blade clamp sleeve rotates and fixes
the saw blade. Make sure that the saw blade cannot be
extracted even though you try to pull it out.
CAUTION:
• If you do not insert the saw blade deep enough,
the saw blade may be ejected unexpectedly
during operation. This can be extremely
dangerous.
NOTE:
• You can not use the jig saw blade with DJR143
or DJR183.
