BLADE SELECTION
In order to obtain the best performance from
the saw, it is important to select the correct
blade for the particular application and type
of material to be cut.
BASE (SHOE) ASSEMBLY
Sliding the Shoe in or out
For maximum con- trol and longer blade life,
the base assembly slides in or out in order to
adjust the effective stroke length.
1. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
2. Using the hex key (included) loosen the 2
screws on the inferior
part of the housing
(near
the
pivoting
shoe).
3. Adjust pivoting shoe
to the front or back of
the saw to the desired
position and retighten
both screws.
GENERAL CUTTING
1. Hold the saw firmly so that it is positioned in
front of and away from the operator.
2. Make sure the saw blade is clear of any for-
eign material.
3. Make sure the material to be cut is securely
supported. Small workpieces must be securely
clamped in a vise or clamped to a workbench
or table.
4. Clearly mark the cutting line.
5. Depress the trigger switch in order to start
the cutting action.
6. Place the base assembly (shoe) against the
work, and then move the blade into the work-
piece.
7. Do not force. Use only enough pressure to
keep the saw cutting. Let the blade and the
saw do the work. The use of excessive pressure
may cause bending or twisting of the blade,
which may result in broken blades.
PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the cutting line.
2. Choose a convenient starting point inside
the area to be cut out, and place the tip of the
blade above that point.
3. Rest the front edge of base assembly (shoe) on
the workpiece, and hold it firmly in position.

4. Depress the trigger switch in order to start
the cutting action.
5. When the saw blade reaches full cutting
speed, slowly tilt saw downward until the tip
of the blade starts cutting the workpiece.
6. After the blade penetrates the workpiece,
tilt the saw until the blade is perpendicular to
the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as
sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminium, brass,
and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the
saw blade. Do not force.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when
cutting soft metals and steel.
Cutting oil will keep the blade cool, increase
cutting action, and prolong blade life.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, because nor-
mal sparking could ignite the fumes.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position,
and make the cut close to the clamping point
in order to minimize vibration of the work be-
ing cut.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron,
clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and cut
close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the
material between pieces of hardboard or ply-
wood, and clamp the layers together in order
to reduce vibration and tearing of the mate-
rial.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Inspect the reciprocating saw,
the on/off switch, and the cord for damage be-
fore each use. Check for damaged, missing, or
worn parts.
CAUTION: Be sure to switch power OFF and
disconnect the plug from the receptacle during
maintenance and inspection. Using cracked,
deformed or damaged parts can result in seri-
ous personal injury.
The brushes are designed to give you several
years of use.
If they ever need replaced follow the instruc-
tions in this manual or return the tool to the
nearest service center for repair.
