• The compact design of the recipro cating saw motor
FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE G)
housing and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to
floors, corners and other difficult areas.
• To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the
blade shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of the
blade facing up.
• Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the
work surface as possible.
• Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the work
WOOD CUTTING (FIGURE H)
piece is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent
slipping.
• Place blade and shoe lightly against work to be cut.
• Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while
cutting. Whenever possible, the shoe must be held
firmly against the material being cut. This will
prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and
minimize blade breakage.
• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE I)
blade for non-ferrous materials.
• 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.
• 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.
• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly
POCKET CUTTING - WOOD ONLY (FIGURE J)
with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
• Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp
securely.
• Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the
shoe is resting on the work surface.
• Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximum speed.
• Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate
upward swing with the handle of the saw.
• 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 shoe as a guide.
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
PROJECT TIPS
• When cutting, always ensure that the 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.
