How to Maintain a Reciprocating Saw

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Ed Reyes with Master Builders here in Tampa, Florida and I am representing Expert Village. We are going to show you how to use a reciprocating saw properly. Unlike always with maintenance on any kind of mechanism here, this unit has bushings on both sides. You really don't need to maintenance these unless you are going to have to replace these bushings and you will know when you need to replace them; they get a certain odor. The way to do that is it as an indentation here where you get any kind of large screwdriver, reverse it out counter clockwise, pull it out and it has a little spring in it and replace the bushing, push the spring back in, put your cap back in and clockwise, tighten it. You would do it on this side and also on this side. This particular unit has double bushings so we recommend if you are going to do one side, do them both at the same time. "
