How To Use The Reciprocating Saw - Hitachi CR 13VB Mode D'emploi

HOW TO USE THE
RECIPROCATING SAW
CAUTION:
Avoid carrying it plugged to the outlet
with your finger on the switch. A
sudden startup can result in an
unexpected injury.
Be careful not to let sawdust, earth,
moisture, etc., enter the inside of the
machine through the plunger section
during operation. If sawdust and the like
accumulate in the plunger section,
always clean it before use.
Do not remove the front cover (refer to
Fig. 2).
Hold firmly the front cover by hand to
operate.
But, do not extend your hand or finger
beyond the flange (see Fig.18) of front
cover to avoid an injury.
During use, press the base against the
material while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if
the base is not pressed firmly against
the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can
sometimes contact the inner wall of the
pipe, damaging the saw blade.
Select a saw blade of the most
appropriate length. Ideally, the length
protruding from the base of the saw
blade after subtracting the stroke
should be larger than the material (see
Fig. 18 and Fig. 19).

If you cut a large pipe, large block of
wood, etc., that exceeds the cutting
capacity of a blade; there is a risk that
the blade may contact with the inner
wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in
damage. (Fig. 20, Fig. 21)

To maximize cutting efficiency for the
materials you are using and working
conditions, adjust the speed of the saw
blade and the switching to swing cutting.
CAUTION:
Press the base firmly against the
workpiece.
Never apply any unreasonable force to
the saw blade when cutting. Doing so
can easily break the blade.
