Set the direction switch, located just above
the trigger, so that it is in the center locked
position. Install the reciprocating saw head
onto the motor body. Install the reciprocat-
ing saw blade into the saw. The teeth of
the blade can be positioned so they are
pointed up or down, depending upon the
type of cutting operation to be performed.
Loosen the Allen
®
screw which is
accessed through the slot on the right
hand side of the head.
See Figure 5.
Insert the blade between the retaining
plate and the flat, being sure to engage the
hole in the blade on the pin. Hold the blade
in position with your other hand while tight-
ening the Allen
®
screw to retain the blade.
Refer to the Grizzly catalog or website for
other types of blades suitable for a wide
variety of materials.
The reciprocating saw is the perfect tool for
doing tough cutout work. If cutting through
sheathing, a small pilot hole can be used
to provide a place for the blade to start. In
softer materials such as drywall, the point-
ed tip of the blade can be carefully
punched into the drywall to give a starting
point for the cut. A typical cutting operation
is shown in
Figure 6.
If cutting to a pattern, always cut to the out-
side of the pattern line. Push the saw
evenly at a rate suitable for the material
being cut. If the motor should begin to
slow, ease up on the cutting pressure.
RECIPROCATING SAW OPERATION
Operating this equipment has the
potential to propel debris into the air
which can cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Be certain the
safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the
American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
