Full details

The WORX WX516 Cordless Reciprocating Saw is designed for DIYers and professionals seeking a powerful and versatile cutting tool. It offers the convenience of cordless operation with power comparable to corded models, enabling fast and clean cuts across various materials.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of batteries does the WX516 use?

The WX516 uses WORX PowerShare batteries, which are available in 20V, 40V, and 80V configurations. Any WORX PowerShare battery is compatible with this tool.

Is a battery included with the saw?

This information can vary by package. Please check the product listing or packaging to confirm if a battery and charger are included. Often, they are sold separately as part of a bare tool offering.

How do I change the blade?

The saw features a tool-free blade clamp. Simply pull the lever on the clamp to open it, remove the old blade, insert the new blade shank fully, and release the lever to secure it.

What is the maximum cutting depth for different materials?

The maximum cutting depths are approximately 300mm in wood, 190mm in PVC pipe, and 12mm in metal.

How do I adjust the speed?

The saw has a variable speed control dial located near the trigger. Rotate the dial to adjust the speed from 0 up to 3000 rpm. Lower speeds are typically used for more controlled cuts, especially in metal.

What makes the brushless motor better?

Brushless motors offer increased efficiency, resulting in longer run times per battery charge, more power output, a more compact tool design, and a significantly longer motor lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not start

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check if the safety switch is engaged. Try a different PowerShare battery if available.

Blade is not cutting effectively

Verify the correct type of blade is installed for the material. Ensure the blade is sharp and not worn out. Check that the blade is securely clamped and not loose.

Overheating during use

Reduce the cutting speed. Ensure the motor vents are clear of dust and debris. Avoid forcing the saw; let the tool do the work.

Blade clamp is stuck

Clean any debris from around the blade clamp mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Do not force the clamp; consult the manual or support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure a charged WORX PowerShare battery is available.
  2. Insert the battery into the tool's battery port until it clicks securely.
  3. Select an appropriate blade for the material you intend to cut.
  4. Open the stay-open blade clamp, insert the blade shank fully, and release the clamp to secure the blade.
  5. Adjust the variable speed dial to your desired setting (start low for new materials).

Compatibility:

This saw is compatible with all WORX 20V, 40V, and 80V PowerShare batteries. Blades for reciprocating saws are generally universal, but ensure the shank type matches the tool's clamp mechanism.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Remove any dust or debris from the motor vents and blade clamp area.
  • Storage: Store the saw in a dry, protected environment. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the blade clamp for debris and ensure it operates smoothly. Inspect blades for wear or damage before each use.
