MATERIALS YOU CAN CUT
This reciprocating saw is a versatile tool that allows you to cut many different
types of materials.
Some of
these
materials
include:
Wood products such as lumber, hardwood, plywood, composite
board, and paneling.
Drywall
Fiber board and plastic
Metals, such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass,
and copper
NOTE: There are many different types of blades available. Generally, there
are metal cutting blades (fine teeth) and wood cutting blades (coarse teeth).
Use the correct blade for your application. The packaging on the blade will
indicate the type of materials each blade is designed to cut.
NOTE: It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats and
sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such
as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not
recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing out with compressed air.
