GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n
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.
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
n
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do
not use on a ladder or unstable support.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
n
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
n
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
n
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
TOOL USE AND CARE
n
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-
cation. 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. A
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce 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.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
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.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
n
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery. Use bat-
tery only with charger listed.

n
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
n
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 per-
sonal injury.
n

n
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.
n
n
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in
the locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch
on, invites accidents.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
SERVICE
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
shock or injury.
n Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by un-
qualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
n Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame.
An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals.
If exposed, flush with water immediately.
ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
n Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
n Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Ev-
eryday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury.
n For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
n Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
n Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.

When using your drill-driver continuously, the batteries in
your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes
before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack
becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the green
LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes,
reinsert battery pack in charger. If green LED continues
to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears
Repair Center for checking or replacing.
Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on indi-
cates battery pack is fully charged and charger is in
trickle charge mode. Note: Green LED will remain on
until battery pack is removed from charger or charger
is disconnected from power supply.
n
n
If both yellow and green LED come on, this indicates a
deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
Allow battery pack to remain in charger for 15 to 30
minutes. When battery pack reaches normal voltage
range, red LED should come on.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your drill causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING
BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger
to your nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical check.
n
If red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this
indicates a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
n
n
After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging
time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING COOL
BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the
green LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to
reach normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.

DRILLING
See Figure 12.
A convenient feature provided with your drill is a level. It
is recessed in the motor housing on top and end of your
drill. It can be used to keep drill bit level during drilling
operations.
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch
to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However,
the low speed feature allows starting holes without center
punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate
your drill at a low speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise
or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool.

breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has
a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of
control can result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep
it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit
and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release
switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL IN-
STRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous personal injury.
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
n Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
TOOL USE AND CARE
n Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
n Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
n Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-
plication. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
n Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
n Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
n Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
nA battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery.
nUse battery operated tool only with specifically des-
ignated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
nUse battery only with charger listed.

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
n Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-
ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
n 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.
n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
SERVICE
ment 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 shock or injury.
n Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and n Always use blades with correct size and shape

they cannot be cut by the blade.
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
n Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw
blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK
could cause the saw to jump backwards. (see KICK-
BACK)
n Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
n Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can-

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
not protect you from the blade below the work.
n Check the lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out
of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
n Check the operation and condition of the lower
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before
use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect op-
erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
n Lower guard should be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as “Pocket Cuts” and “Com-
pound Cuts”. Raise lower guard by Retracting
Handle. As soon as blade enters the material, lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
n Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your
body and arm in a way that allows you to resist
KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be con-
trolled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
n When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investi-
gate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause
of blade binding.
n Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
n NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
n When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not
engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
n Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
n When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.

shock.
n Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding
and KICKBACK.
n For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
n Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
n Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
n Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
Laser Guide Warnings:
The laser guide radiation used in the Craftsman trim saw is
Class IIIa with maximum <5 mW and 650nm wavelengths.
These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard
although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
n Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
n Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.
n The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
n Never aim the beam at a person or object other than the
workpiece.
n Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
n Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflective
sheet metal or similar shiny materials are not suitable for
laser use.
n Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or dam-
aged battery immediately.
n All repairs should be made by an authorized service
representative or the laser manufacturer.
n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in
the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the presence of
open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

OPERATION
KICKBACK
See Figures 8 - 11.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER: Release switch immediately if blade
binds or saw stalls. Kickback could cause you to
lose control of the saw. Loss of control can lead to
serious injury.

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices
such as the following.
n Setting blade depth incorrectly.
Fig. 9
n Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.
n Twisting the blade while making a cut.
INCORRECT SUPPORT
n Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade.
n Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
n Forcing a cut.
n Cutting warped or wet lumber.
n Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices.
n Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. The depth
setting should not exceed 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) below the
material being cut.
n Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
n Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
CORRECT BLADE DEPTH SETTING =
BLADE EXPOSED ONE BLADE TOOTH

n Support the workpiece properly before beginning a cut.
n Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
n Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
n Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body
in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback
should occur.

OPERATION
SAW BLADES
STARTING/STOPPING THE SAW
See Figure 13.
The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are
not kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade
will place a heavy load on the saw and increase the dan-
ger of kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp
blades are always available.
To start the saw: Depress the switch trigger.
Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide the saw
into the workpiece.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the
saw down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum
and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these
accumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
WARNING: The blade coming in contact with the
workpiece before it reaches full speed could cause
the saw to “kickback” towards you resulting in seri-
ous injury.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 12.
The lower blade guard attached to your trim saw is there
for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any rea-
son. If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until
you have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave
guard in operating position when using the saw.
To stop the saw: Release the switch trigger.
After you release the switch trigger, allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from
the workpiece while the blade is moving.
DANGER: When sawing through work, lower
blade guard does not cover blade on the underside
of work. Since blade is exposed on underside of
work, keep hands and fingers away from cutting
area. Any part of your body coming in contact with
moving blade will result in serious injury.
SWITCH
TRIGGER
CAUTION: Never use saw when guard is not
operating correctly. Check the guard for correct
operation before each use. The guard is operating
correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to
the closed position. If you drop the saw, check the
lower blade guard and bumper for damage at all
depth settings before reuse.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
n Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
TOOL USE AND CARE
n Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
n Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
n 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.
n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
nA battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery.
n Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
nUse battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
nUse battery only with charger listed.
n Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.

CHARGER
n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
sparks, burns, or a fire.
n 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.
n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
n Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
nDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
n 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
n 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.
n Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-
ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
n 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.
n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
n When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
SERVICE
ment 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 shock or injury.
n Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
n Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or dam-
aged battery immediately.
n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in
the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the presence of
open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
n Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
n Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
n For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
n Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
n Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
n Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.

an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords im-
mediately.
n Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
n Disconnect charger from the power supply when
not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock
or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into
the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
n Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with
sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subject-
ed to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of
accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage
to the cord, which could result in electric shock.
n Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated
portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
n Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent

n Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
n An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If
extension cord must be used, make sure:
WARNING: 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.

on the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot bat-
tery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes
discharged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to
come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert
the battery pack in the charger. If the green LED continues
to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears
Repair Center for checking or replacing.
n Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
n Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.
n Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARG-
ING A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging
of batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery
pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Sears Repair Center for
electrical check.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery
pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
n If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates
a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow
the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30
minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the red
LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.

OPERATION
BASE (SHOE) ASSEMBLY
See Figure 5.
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 6.
The base assembly of your reciprocating saw pivots up
and down in both directions. It also is adjustable, allowing
the use of the blade teeth at different positions on the
blade.
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be
sure material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces
should be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps
to the work bench or table. Mark the line of cut clearly.
Depress the lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to
start the cutting action. Place the base assembly against
the work, then move the blade into the work. Do not
force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
Let the blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive
pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may
result in broken blades.
TO CHANGE POSITIONS OF BASE ASSEMBLY:
n
Remove battery pack.
WARNING: Failure to remove battery pack from saw
could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
n
Loosen the set screw in the gear frame with the hex
key provided with this saw.

OPERATION
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 7.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 8.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting
point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of
the blade over that point. Rest front edge of base (shoe)
assembly on work and hold firmly in position. Depress the
lock-off button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting
action.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful
not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force. We
recommend cutting oil when cutting most soft metals
and steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades cool, increase
cutting action, and prolong blade life.
WARNING: Make sure blade does not touch work
until motor reaches full speed, since this could cause
loss of control resulting in serious injury.
With saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw
downward until tip of blade starts cutting work. After
blade penetrates work, tilt saw until blade is perpendicular
to the work.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work
being cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp
work in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To
cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between
hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate
vibration and material tearing.

come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert
battery pack in charger. If green LED continues to remain
on, return battery pack to your nearest Sears Repair
Center for checking or replacing.

Normally, the red LED on charger will come on. This
indicates charger is in fast charging mode.
Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour
then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in trickle charge mode. Note: Green LED will remain
on until battery pack is removed from charger or
charger is disconnected from power supply.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your light causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "CHARGING
BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If
the charger does not charge the battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to the nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical
check.
■
If both yellow and green LED come on, this indicates a
deeply discharged or defective battery pack.

MAINTENANCE
To preserve natural resources, please
recycle or dispose of batteries properly.
BATTERIES
The battery pack for this light is equipped with nickel-
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from
each charging will depend how much the light is used.
This product contains nickel-cadmium
batteries. Local, state or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium
batteries in ordinary trash.
The batteries in the battery pack have been designed to
provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all
batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not
disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the
batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when
wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's
terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not
attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or
remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
away from children. Failure to comply with these
warnings can result in fire and/or serious injury.
■
■
■
Store and charge the battery pack in a cool area.
Temperatures below 50°F or above 100° F will
shorten battery life.
Never store battery pack in a discharged condition.
Recharge battery immediately when it becomes
discharged.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your light for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
WARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble the
battery pack. Fire or injury can result.
