METAL CUTTING
Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can
be cut with your reciprocating saw.
1.
To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers to limit vibration and material tearing.
2.
Always use a fine toothed metal cutting blade and run the saw at medium
speeds when cutting metal.
3.
Use cutting oil to keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong
the life of the blade.
4.
Do not twist or bend the saw blade.
5.
Do not force the saw blade. Let it cut at its own speed.
WARNING!
Always clamp the work piece in a vice, or to a workbench or table. Do not hold
the work piece in your hand or against your body.
Never use gasoline as a lubricant or as a cleaning agent. A spark from the
motor may cause an explosion. Gasoline will also damage the plastic
components of the saw.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Remove the plug before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
2.
Keep the machine clean.
3.
Never use a saw blade that is damaged, distorted or dull.
4.
After use, make sure the power plug has been removed from the power
source and store the tool in a secure place out of the reach of children.
5.
Periodically remove the metal chips and dust from the surface of the tool
with a damp, clean cloth.
CAUTION! Do not use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use.
WARNING! Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
