GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 4, page 10.
WARNING:
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade, the
blade clamp, and the saw bar assembly to become
electrically live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting
into a wall; grasp only the insulated surfaces on the
tool. Make sure hidden electrical wiring, water pipes,
and mechanical hazards are not in the blade path when
cutting into a wall.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until
the motor reaches full speed, since this could cause loss
of control resulting in serious injury.
„ Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise or with clamps.
„ Mark the line of cut clearly.
„ Make sure the saw blade teeth are clean of any debris
or foreign material.
„ Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
„ Slide the lock-off button to the unlocked position and
depress the switch trigger.
„ Allow the saw blade to reach full cutting speed.
„ Set the shoe assembly against the workpiece.
NOTE: The shoe assembly of the reciprocating saw pivots
up and down in both directions.
„ Move the blade into the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep
the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Keep
pressure on the shoe, against the workpiece.
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 5, page 10.
WARNING:
Blades longer than 6 in. can whip and should not be used
for plunge cutting. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until
the motor reaches full speed, since this could cause loss
of control resulting in serious injury.
„ Choose a convenient starting point inside the cutting area
and place the tip of the blade over that point.
„ Rest the front edge of the shoe assembly on the workpiece
and hold it firmly in position during the cut.
„ Slide the lock-off button to the unlocked position and
depress the switch trigger.
„ Allow the saw blade to reach full cutting speed.
„ Tilt the saw until the tip of the blade starts cutting the
workpiece.
„ Allow the blade to penetrate the workpiece.
„ Tilt the saw until the shoe is resting on the material and
the blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 6, page 10.
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the saw.
Observe the following tips when metal cutting:
„ Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
„ Do not force the tool and use a slow speed.
„ Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting action,
and prolongs blade life.
„ Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes.
„ Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration of the work. When cutting
conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the workpiece 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.
„ Always keep firm pressure on the shoe assembly to hold
it securely against the workpiece.
