OPERATION
PIVOTING BLASE FOOT
Due to its movability,
the adjustable pivoting
blade foot adapts to
the required angular
position of the surface.
It must be held firmly
against the material
being cut to reduce
saw vibration, blade
jumping and blade
breakage.
If you need to reduce
the cutting capacity
of your tool (depth of
cut), the pivoting foot
plate may be adjusted
as follows. Loosen the
securing screw on the
underside of the front housing with a hex key. Slide the pivoting blade
foot to the required position. Tighten the screw and check that the blade
foot is firmly latched.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Depress the On/Off switch to start and release it to stop your tool.
Depress the on/off switch then the lock on button. Your tool is now
locked on for continuous use. To switch off your tool just depress and
release the on/off switch.
CONTROLING THE STROKE RATE
For sawing appropriately to the material a suitable stroke rate can be
set with the regulating wheel and controlled with the ON-OFF switch.
The setting wheel serves at the same time to steplessly adjust the
stroke rate while the saw is operating.
CUTTING INSTRUCTION
PLUNGE CUTTING
The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable for treating soft materials
such as wood, plaster board or similar! Do not work metal materials
with the plunge cutting procedure!
Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.
Place the machine with the
edge of the blade foot onto
the workpiece and switch
on. For power tools with
stroke speed control, set the
maximum stroke speed. Press
the power tool firmly against
the workpiece and allow the
saw blade to slowly plunge
into the workpiece. As soon
Instruction manual
as the blade foot fully lays on the surface of the workpiece, continue
sawing alongside the desired cutting line. For certain work, the saw
blade can also be inserted turned through by 180 and the sabre saw
can be guided accordingly in a reversed manner.
FLUSH CUTTING
Pay attention that the saw blade always extends beyond the diameter of
the material being worked. There is danger of kickback.
It is possible to make cuts extremely close to floors, walls and other
difficult areas. Insert the blade shank into the blade clamp with the
blade teeth facing up (opposite to normal working position). This will
make cuts closer to the work surface. Using special flexible blades
insert the blade into the blade clamp with the blade teeth facing down
(normal working position). It will allow flush pipe cutting.
WOOD CUTTING
For easier control use low speed to start cutting, then increase to the
correct speed.
METAL CUTTING
This saw has different
metal cutting capacities
depending upon the type of
blade being used and metal
being cut.Use a finer blade
for ferrous metals and a
coarse blade for non-ferrous
metals.
When cutting thin gauge
sheet
clamp wood on both sides of the sheet. This will give you a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of the metal.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW
▶If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to maximum and
▶Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
▶The blade guard must be held firmly against the material being cut

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

metals, ALWAYS
DO NOT force the cutting blade. Forcing the blade will
reduce blade life and cause the blade to break.
NOTE: We recommend that you spread a thin film of oil or
other coolant along the line of cut ahead of the saw. This
will allow easier operation and help extend blade life.
When cutting aluminum, use kerosene.
