OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
11. Metal Cutting
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force the tool.
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 as a lubricant because normal sparking could ignite the fumes.
a. Securely clamp the workpiece in position and make the cut close to the clamping point to
minimize vibration.
b. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and cut close
to the vise.
c. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between pieces of hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers together to reduce vibration and tearing of the material.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, disconnect the plug from the power source.
For safe and proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your reciprocating saw; never use detergent or
alcohol.
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using compressed air
to clean the tool. If the operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
