PLUNGE CUTTING WARNINGS:
•
Plunge cutting metal is PROHIBITED .
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before operating the reciprocating saw on a work piece or work
area.
•
Blades longer than 6 in. (15.2cm) can whip and should not be used for plunge cutting. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
•
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade, the blade holder, and the saw to become electrically live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting
into a wall; grasp only the insulated surfaces on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are not in the
blade path when cutting into a wall.
•
Keep in mind your blade length when cutting into a wall that may have another wall or other surface that you could cut through on the other side.
For instance, don’t use a 6” blade in a 4” wall space unless you intend to cut through both walls or surfaces.
•
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the motor reaches full speed. Failure to heed this warning can cause you to lose control
of the saw and result in serious injury.
PLUNGE CUTTING PROCEEDURES:
•
Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a vise or with clamps.
•
Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material and that the power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path.
•
Hold the saw firmly in front and clearly away from you.
•
Mark the line of the cut clearly.
•
Choose a convenient starting point inside the cutting area and place the tip of the blade over the point.
•
Reset the front edge for the Pivoting Guide Shoe assembly on the workpiece and hold it firmly in position during the cut.
•
Depress the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to reach full cutting speed.
•
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the motor reaches full speed. Failure to heed this warning can cause you to lose control of
the saw and result in serious injury.
•
Tilt the saw downward until the tip of the blade starts cutting the workpiece.
•
Allow the saw blade to penetrate the workpiece.
•
Tilt the saw until the blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
You can cut metal with your saw, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass, and copper. Observe the following rules when cutting
metal.
•
Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
•
Do not force the tool.
•
Use cutting oil when cutting soft metal and steel.
•
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
•
Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron,
clamp the workpiece in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing.
•
Always keep firm pressure on the base to hold it securely against the workpiece.
