ADJUSTABLE SHOE - (fIGURE 9 PC75TRS ONLy)
WARNING:
CUT HAzARD. Blade breakage may
occur if the blade does not extend past the shoe and
the workpiece during the cut. Increased risk of personal
injury, as well as damage to the shoe and workpiece
may result.
WARNING:
CUT HAzARD. Turn off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments
or removing or installing attachments or accessories.
The shoe will adjust to limit the depth of cut. Using a M4
(5/32 in.) hex wrench (not supplied), loosen the screws
(figure 9) and slide the shoe out to the desired depth
then retighten screws securely.
CAUTION:
CUT HAzARD. To prevent loss of
control, never use tool without shoe.
CAUTION:
RISk Of PERSONAL INJURy AND
PROPERTy DAMAGE. Ensure the shoe is locked into
position before using tool.
fLUSH CUTTING (fIGURE 10)
• The compact design of the recipro c ating saw motor
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.
METAL CUTTING (fIGURE 11)
• 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 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: Spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier
operation and longer blade life.
POCkET CUTTING - WOOD ONLy (fIGURE 12)
• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly
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 and the fully
extended moving blade will clear the surface.
• Grip unit with both hands, switch motor on permitting
blade to obtain maximum speed.
• Begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the main
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.
