Do not use specialty blades that are very short or those with a significant cant. Blade must not contact footplate. A blade which is too short or canted could jam inside the foot and snap. FIG. 3FIG. 2 Open Position LockJaw™ BLADE HOLDER LOCKING COLLAR BLADE LOCKING COLLAR -7 or into walls. To adjust the footplate position, simply push the footplate release button and move the footplate into the desired position. The locking mechanism is spring-loaded to lock into one of the 3 positions on the FIG. 5 footplate assembly. If the footplate is pulled out so far that a notch shows at the other end of the shaft, the footplate assembly is extended too far out, and must be retracted to the one of the 3 positions Fig. 4 (b). !WARNING Do not push the footplate release button while sawing. It will cause the footplate to release from the desired settings and you may lose control and be injured. !WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade extends beyond the footplate and all the way through the workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the blade hits the footplate or hits the work at an angle that is nearly head-on (Fig. 5). SAW HOOK Your tool is equipped with a convenient saw hook for hanging your tool. To use, simply lift up hook until it snaps into the open position (Fig. 6). When not in use, always lower hook until it snaps into the closed position. FIG. 6 SAW HOOK Using the Saw 1. Securely clamp the work. 2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with one hand on the handle and the other placed on the insulated rubber boot over the front housing. !WARNING Always hold the saw by the insulated boot on the front housing. If you saw into a blind area where live wiring exists, you may be shocked or electrocuted. 3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the work to minimize counter-force (jumping) and vibration. 4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the saw reach full speed before starting the cut. Guide the saw so that the blade will move along the marked line. SAWING TIPS Following a few simple tips will reduce the wear on the workpiece, the tool and the operator. 1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc., place the good side of workpiece facing down. 2. Use the correct saw blade for the material being cut and keep extra blades on hand to use when others become dull. Replace cracked or bent blades immediately. 3. Select the appropriate cutting speed. !WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the footplate and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the front on the blade hits the work and/or the footplate. 4. When cutting metal: -Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother, faster cutting and longer blade life. -For non-ferrous metals, aluminum, bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the blade. -8 -For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use machine or cutting oil along the surface to be cut. 5. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the material between two pieces of scrap wood. Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of lumber on top of the metal can be used with adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or design on the wood. WRONG RIGHT 6. Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and blade do the work. POCKET CUTS POCKET/PLUNGE CUTS The reciprocating saw can be used to make plunge cuts into softer material, (for example, wood or light building materials for walls), without a starting hole (Fig. 7). 1. Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work. 2. Set the tool with one edge of the footplate firmly against the material. 3. Place the tip of the blade (not running) on the line to be cut. 4. Tilt the saw so that the blade clears the work. 5. Squeeze the trigger switch and carefully engage the moving saw blade into the material. 6. After the blade penetrates through the work, continue sawing along the marked outline. NOTES: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth facing upward, and hold the saw upside down as shown (Fig. 8). Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces. In thick materials and in harder materials, such as metal, plunge cutting should not be attempted. Such materials can be cut with the recip saw only by starting the cut from the edge of the material or from a hole drilled all the way through the material that is large enough to fit the saw blade. !WARNING The use of any accessories not specified in this manual may create a hazard. FIG. 7 FIG. 8 -9 Maintenance !WARNING Service load or very abrasive material cutting) should Preventive maintenance be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor failure. performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard.
