7.5 AMP Reciprocating Saw
Operator’s Manual GRS750
OPERATION
SWITCH ACTION
WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is
switched off. Accidently starting the saw could cause personal injury.
The saw is equipped with a variable-speed Trigger Switch (1), and a Lock-On Button (2) for extended use.
To Start the Saw,
depress the switch (1). Depressing the switch further will produce more speed.
for extended use, you may set Lock-On Button to relieve the fatigue. Depress the switch to the maximum speed,
depress the Lock-On Button to lock the switch ON. To release the Lock-On Button, depress the switch.
To Stop the Saw,
release the switch. If the Lock-On Button is in use, depress the switch first and then release
it to stop the saw.
OPERATING THE SAW
CUTTING ACTION
The reciprocating saw blade is doing most of its cutting as it travels towards the operator. Depending on the
type of material and cutting speed, this can cause splintering on the surface of the workpiece that is facing
the operator. Therefore, if possible, position yourself or the workpiece so that the desired “good” side of the
workpiece is facing away from the operator.
GENERAL CUTTING
Clamp your workpiece if it is portable. Rest the front shoe of the saw on your workpiece (be sure the blade is not
contacting the workpiece) and start the saw. Start the cut, exerting enough pressure in the direction of the cut
to keep the blade cutting, and enough forward pressure to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece
at all times. Do not force the cut or stall the saw. Don’t bend or twist the blade. Let the tool and the blade do the
work. In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are for cutting metal.
Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher speed. If the blade overheats or clogs, it
may indicate you need a coarser blade or slower speed setting. Replace blades when they become dull. Dull
blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
METAL CUTTING
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose. You may use a light oil as a
coolant when cutting metal; this will prevent overheating of the blade, help the blade cut faster, and promote
longer blade life.
WARNING:
Wear safety glasses. Wear a dust mask if operation is dusty. Wear
hearing protection during long periods of operation. Support and clamp workpiece
securely. Keep your balance and don’t overreach.
