Flush sawing
With suitable saw blades it is possible to saw off extruding
sections flush with adjacent surfaces.
NOTE:
The saw blade sticks out behind the workpiece – risk of
kickback.
Place the saw blade with the side against the adjacent surface
and press so that the edge of pad rests against the adjacent
surface.
Start the tool and saw by maintaining the pressure sideways.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Always pull out the plug before working on the reciprocating saw.
•
Always keep the tool and the ventilation openings clean to
ensure safe and reliable use.
• Clean the blade holder regularly, for example med
compressed air.
Starting/stopping
Start the tool by pressing the power switch and holding it in.
Switch off the tool by releasing the power switch.
Variable stroke rate setting
Tap the power switch for low stroke rate. Press harder to increase
the stroke rate.
Pivoting suspension pad
The suspension pad pivots to follow the surface of the workpiece.
USE
Sawing
• When sawing in lightweight materials, follow the regulations
and recommendations of the material supplier.
• Use a suitable blade for the material that is to be sawed.
• Use thin saw blades to saw sharp curves.
• Apply oil to the workpiece when sawing metal.
• Remove any nails, screws and other metal objects from the
workpiece before sawing.
• Always check before use that the saw blade is correctly fitted
in the blade holder.
Start the tool before applying it against the workpiece.
Place the pad against the surface of the workpiece and move the
blade through the workpiece with a steady pressure.
Release the power switch immediatly if the blade jams or fastens.
Widen the cut with a suitable tool and pull out the blade.
Switch off the tool by releasing the power switch after finishing
the work.
Plunge sawing
Plunge sawing must only be carried out in soft materials such as
wood and plasterboards, etc. It requires some practice, and can
only be done with short blades.
FIG. 4
– Apply the edge of the pad against the workpiece and switch
on the tool. Note that the edge of the pad must rest against
the surface of the workpiece.
– Carefully press the saw blade against the workpiece so that it
goes into the material.
– Increase the angle until the tool is at right angles to the
workpiece and continue sawing along the saw line.
– Switch off the tool and pull the blade out from the
workpiece.
– It is easier to do plunge sawing if the saw blade is turned 180°.
