Start-Up; Straight Cutting/Cutting Curves; General Notes On Cutting - Batavia GATOR BT-RS001 Mode D'emploi

START-UP

1. Plug in the mini reciprocating saw.
2. Hold the mini reciprocation saw firmly with
both hands. Always use the auxiliary handle
(2) when operating the saw.
3. To switch ON the saw, press the ON/OFF
trigger (8) and keep it pressed. To switch
OFF the saw, release the ON/OFF trigger.
Use the ON/OFF trigger to control the
stroke rate. The further you depress the
ON/OFF trigger, the higher the stroke rate
will be.
4. Allow the saw blade to operate with full
speed under no load and lead the saw
blade to the workpiece. Only use little
pressure when operating the saw. Slightly
move the saw during operation to support
the saw movement and the spilling of the
splinters.
5. Press the locking button (9) when the saw
is switched on to lock the ON/OFF trigger.
The saw operates constantly with the
highest stroke rate.
STRAIGHT CUTTING
• Clamp the workpiece e.g. to a workbench.
• Put the footplate (6) of the saw parallel onto
the workpiece.
• Cut only from one direction. Do not cut
halfway and then complete the cut from the
opposite end.
• If necessary, draw a cutting line on the
workpiece before cutting.
CUTTING CURVES
• Perform curved cuts with the mini
reciprocating saw by applying pressure on
the handle of the saw to lead the saw to the
desired direction.

GENERAL NOTES ON CUTTING

• The mini reciprocating saw can be used for
cutting thin ferrous and non-ferrous metals
such as copper, brass, aluminium etc. up to
a thickness of 3 mm.

• When cutting thin sheet, we recommend
clamping a backing sheet of soft wood or
plywood to the work as this will enable to
obtain a clean cut and to cut both pieces at
the same time.
• Please notice: When forcing the saw there
is risk of injuries. So do not force the blade
into the metal as this will reduce the life of
the blade and possibly damage the motor
of the saw.
• If desired, spread a thin film of oil along the
proposed cutting line before cutting.
• Make sure that the workpiece is firmly
anchored to prevent slipping or moving
while cutting. Use screw clamps to secure
the workpiece, if necessary.
• Depending on the material of the workpiece
use a saw blade of the appropriate type
and size.
• Clearly mark the cutting line before cutting.
• Hold the saw firmly. Make sure to keep your
hands on the insulated gripping areas only.
• Do not force the tool. Use only enough
steady pressure on the blade to keep the
saw cutting.
• Reduce pressure as the blade comes to the
end of the cut.
• Allow the saw to come to a complete stop
before you remove the blade from the
workpiece.
• When sawing building materials observe
the statutory requirements and the
manufacturer's recommendations. Make
sure the saw blade and the blade speed
are suitable for the workpiece
correspondingly.
• When sawing metal pay attention that the
material can easily heat up. The saw blade
will harden and loose its cutting efficiency
and flexibility.
- Only use undamaged saw blades,
- oil the material on the cutting site with
cutting oil or spray,
- do not touch the cutting site
immediately after cutting.
