Information On Saw Blades; Maintenance, Cleaning And Storing - Batavia GATOR BT-RS001 Mode D'emploi

• When cutting wooden material, do not use
too much pressure on the saw blade. If the
stroke rate is too high, the cutting line will
tear off.
• When cutting plastics, operate the saw with
a low stroke rate, or the plastic material will
heat up and start to melt at the cutting line.
• Use narrow blades for tight curved cuttings.
• The length of the saw blade should not
exceed the intended cutting length.
• For flush cuttings, e.g. when sawing pipes
directly on the wall, preferably use a flexible
bimetal saw blade. The length of the saw
blade should exceed the diameter of the
workpiece you intend to cut. First, place the
saw blade directly on the surface of the wall
and bend the blade with sideways
pressure.
• Plunge sawing can only be performed in
soft materials. Only use short saw blades
for plunge sawing. First, cut the surface of
the workpiece as usual and as soon as you
have reached the necessary cutting depth,
move the blade into a vertical position and
continue sawing along the cutting line.

MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND
STORING
• For best performance, always keep the saw
blades and the mini reciprocating saw in
good and clean condition.
• First unplug the mini reciprocating saw
before carrying out any work on the saw.
• Clean the housing with a cloth, a paintbrush
or a brush to remove dust and wood
splinters.
• Never use benzene or similar aggressive
chemicals or abrasives for cleaning, in
order not to damage the surfaces of the
saw.
• Make sure liquids of any kind cannot enter
the unit.
• In regular intervals check that all screws
and parts of the mini reciprocating saw are
firmly secured.
• Have spent carbon brushes only replaced
by a professional. Always remove both
carbon brushes at the same time.
• Store the mini reciprocating saw indoors in
a dry place that is protected from dust, dirt
and extreme temperatures. Store the saw
out of reach of children.
