WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the hand grip
with the other hand on the main handle
Cutting with Blade in Horizontal Position
(Fig. G)
Your reciprocating saw is equipped with a horizontal blade
clamp. Installing a blade in the horizontal orientation allows
cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings where limited clearance
is available. Ensure that the shoe is pressed against the work
piece to avoid kickback.
Cutting (Fig. I–K)
WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear approved eye protection.
WARNING: Exercise extra caution when cutting towards
operator. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while
cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored
or clamped to prevent slipping. Place blade lightly against
work to be cut, switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain
maximum speed before applying pressure. Whenever possible,
the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being
cut (Fig. I). This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating
and minimise blade breakage. Any cuts that put pressure on the
blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration,
kickback, and blade breakage.
WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and
pay particular attention to overhead wires that may be
hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches
and debris ahead of time.
WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water
pipes, or electrical wires before making blind or plunge
cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property
damage, electric shock, and/or serious personal injury.
Flush-To Cutting (Fig. I)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle
housing permits extremely close cutting to floors, corners and
other difficult areas.
Pocket/plunge Cutting – Wood Only (Fig. J)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area
to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber. Use
the appropriate blade for the application. The blade should be
longer than 90 mm and should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Insert blade in blade
clamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe
is resting on the work surface and the blade clears the work
surface (position 1, fig. J). Now switch motor on, and allow saw
to come up to speed. Grip saw firmly with both hands and
begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the
saw, keeping the bottom of the shoe firmly in contact with
the workpiece (position 2, fig. J). 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 saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut should be
.
extended beyond edge of cut to be made.

Metal Cutting (Fig. K)
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending upon
type of blade used and the metal to be cut. Use a finer blade for
ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In
thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides
of sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or
tearing of metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as
this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
nOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals
you should spread a thin film of oil or other lubricant along
the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer
blade life.
