ADJUSTABLE SHOE - (FIGURE 7)
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,
loosen the screws (but do not remove)
(Figure 7) 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 8)
• The compact design of the recipro-
cating 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 9)
• 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 10)
• 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.
