TO START AND STOP SAW
1.
Make sure swicth is off and power circuit voltage is the same as shown
on the specification plate on the saw. Connect saw to power circuit.
2.
Hold saw firmly (see Fig. 13 or Fig.14). Squeeze trigger switch (A) Fig.
15, to start motor. Release trigger to stop motor.
VARIABLE SPEED
The saw is equipped with a variable speed control switch (A) Fig. 15 (0 to
2900 SPM). As the switch trigger is squeezed, the speed of the saw blade
increases.
The lower speeds are recommended for most metal cutting, while the higher
speeds are recommended for wood. A few practice cuts at various speeds
(on scrap material), will aid you in choosing the best speed for obtaining the
desired results on your application.
BEFORE YOU START TO WORK
Select the blade best suited for the material to be cut. For greatest
economy, use the shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the material to
be cut.
Be sure the material to be cut is rigid. Small work pieces should be securely
clamped in a bench vise or with clamps to the work table. As the work
progresses in scroll or curved cut-out pieces, the material may be
readjusted to accommodate the movement of the saw. The saw cuts freely
with only slight feed pressure. Forcing the saw will not make it cut faster.
SAWING WOOD
The variable angle reciprocating saw is used much the same as a hand saw
in that it is moved toward the operator during the cutting operation.
However, since the blade cuts on the up-stroke instead of the down-stroke
as in the case of the hand saw, the good or finish side of the work should
face down during the cutting operation.
