• Insert the wrench into the allen screw (7) as shown
in figure H.
• With the allen screw loosened, pull the adjustable
shoe (6) out to the desired distance. The saw can
be used in this position when cutting thinner
material.
• When cutting pipe or similar workpiece, place the
shoe over the object being cut as shown in
figure I. Adjust the shoe so that it is snug but still
allows for slight movement of the workpiece.
Tighten allen screw.
CAUTION: Cut hazard. To prevent loss of control,
never use tool without shoe.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury and property damage. Ensure the shoe is
locked into position before using tool.
BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (FIGURE J)
The blade should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Select
the blade best suitable for the material to be cut
and use the shortest blade suitable for the
thickness of the material (4 inch (102mm) blades
recommended). Do not use jigsaw blades with this
tool.
WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may
occur if the blade does not extend past the shoe and
the workpiece during the cut. Increased risk of
personal injury, as well as damage to the shoe and
workpiece may result.
CAUTION: Make sure the lock-off button is
engaged to prevent switch actuation before making
any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories.
TO INSTALL BLADE INTO SAW
1. Point tool away from body.
2. Rotate blade clamp collar (8) in the direction shown in figure J.
3. Insert blade shank fully into blade clamp collar.
4. Release blade clamp collar to lock blade into position.
NOTE: Blade can be installed with the teeth up to assist in flush-to cutting.
TO REMOVE BLADE FROM SAW
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not touch the blade immediately after use. Contact
with the
blade may result in personal injury.
1. Rotate blade clamp collar (8) to release position.
2. Remove blade.
NOTE: For easiest access to blade clamp collar (8), place adjusting shoe (6) in full
back position.

Operation
WARNING: Always wear eye protection while operating this or any other power tool.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not touch the blade immediately after use. Contact
with the blade may result in personal injury.
Before you begin work, ensure the material to be cut is rigid. Small workpieces should
be securely clamped to a work table.
PROPER HAND POSITION (FIGURES K & L)
Grasp the underside of the hand grip with one hand and the rear handle with the
other hand as shown.
HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL SAW MODES (FIGURES K & L)
The saw can be used in either of the modes
shown.
HORIZONTAL MODE - Blade teeth face
downward as shown in figure K.
VERTICAL MODE - Blade teeth face forward as shown in
figure L.
The PCL120CR can accept all lengths of reciprocating blades.
For best results use 4 inch (102mm) blades. Whenever
possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material
being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating
and minimize blade breakage.
CUTTING
WARNING: Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.
WARNING: Cut hazard. Exercise extra caution when cutting towards operator.
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
• Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Place blade lightly against work to be cut, depress the trigger switch and allow it to
obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.
• Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut.
This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
Any cut which puts pressure on the blade, such as angle or scroll cuts, increases
potential for vibration, kickback and blade breakage.
• A light (5) is built-in to the front of the saw. The light will automatically come on each
time the on/off switch is depressed.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and anticipate the path of
falling branches and debris ahead of time.
WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes, or electrical wires
before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property
damage, electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.
