ADJuSTABlE ShoE - (FIGuRE 8)
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. Push the button (shown in Figure 8) on
the hand grip and slide the shoe out to the desired depth and release the button.
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 9)
• 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 10)
• Use a fine toothed metal cutting blade for ferrous metals and a coarse toothed metal
cutting blade for non-ferrous metals.
• 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 11)
• 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.
PRoJECT TIPS
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is held firmly against the workpiece and
the workpiece is secured from moving/deflecting. 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.
