Product Information
Full details
The WORX 20V Axis Cordless Saw (WX550L9) is an ideal solution for DIYers and homeowners who need to transition between demolition tasks and detailed woodworking without managing two separate power tools. By combining a high-speed reciprocating saw and a precision jigsaw into one pivoting head design, it offers exceptional versatility for cutting through wood, PVC, and steel. While it provides unmatched convenience for space-conscious users, the 0.75-inch stroke length may require more passes when cutting through particularly thick materials compared to dedicated, heavy-duty industrial saws.

FAQs
Can I use standard jigsaw or reciprocating saw blades with this tool?
Yes, the WORX Axis Saw accepts standard shank blades designed for reciprocating saws and jigsaws.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on the application, material hardness, and battery capacity. Using high-capacity 20V Power Share batteries will extend usage time.
Does this tool come with a case?
Packaging may vary by retailer; refer to your specific product listing contents to confirm if a carrying bag or case is included.
Is this tool suitable for thick lumber?
It can cut through thick lumber, but due to the 0.75-inch stroke length, it will be slower than a dedicated, full-size demolition reciprocating saw.
How do I switch from reciprocating to jigsaw mode?
Simply press the release button on the side of the head, rotate the head 90 degrees until it locks into place, and you are ready to cut.
Is the speed adjustable?
The speed is controlled by the pressure applied to the trigger; pulling the trigger further increases the stroke rate.
Troubleshooting
The saw does not start when the trigger is pulled.
Check if the battery is fully seated and charged. Ensure the safety lock-off switch is in the 'unlocked' position.
Blade comes loose during operation.
Stop the tool immediately, ensure the blade clamp is fully opened, re-insert the blade until it seats properly, and tighten the clamp mechanism.
Cuts are rough or moving slowly.
The blade may be dull or incorrect for the material. Replace the blade and ensure you are using the correct speed for the material thickness.

Care and Maintenance
- Blade Inspection: Check blades before every use; dull blades cause motor strain and uneven cuts.
- Clean Vents: Keep air vents clear of dust and wood chips to prevent motor overheating.
- Lubrication: Periodically clean the blade clamp area and apply light machine oil if debris causes the mechanism to stick.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and remove the battery when not in use for extended periods.
