nOTE: This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the
ON position, and should never be locked in the ON position
by any other means.
Flush Cutting (Fig. G)
The compact design of the recipro cating saw motor
housing and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to floors,
corners and other difficult areas.
1. To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade
shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of the blade
facing up.
2. Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the
work surface as possible.
Wood Cutting (Fig. H)
1. Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the work piece
is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
2. Place blade and pivoting shoe firmly against work
to be cut.
3. Switch on saw motor before starting the cut.
4. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe must be held firmly
against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw
from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
Metal Cutting (Fig. I)
1. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non-ferrous materials.
2. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood
to the underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
3. Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and
causes costly blade breakage.
nOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene
is preferred.
Pocket Cutting - Wood Only (Fig. J)
Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber.
1. Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade
clamp securely.
2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the pivoting
shoe is firmly on the work surface.
3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximum speed.
4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw.
5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure
blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocket cut.
nOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge
of the pivoting shoe as a guide.
Project Tips
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less
strain on the motor while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe is
resting against the workpiece. This will improve operator
control and minimize vibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a
carbon steel back welded to high speed steel teeth making
the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
