workpiece. Hard materials, such as metals, require
lower speeds; use higher speeds for softer materials.
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Do not allow familiarity with the
saw to make you careless. One
careless fraction of a second is enough to inflict
serious injury.
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Fig. 12
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge cutting
directly into surfaces that cannot be cut from an
edge, such as in walls or floors. Plunge cutting may
be done two ways, depending on how the blade is
inserted.
Figure 12a shows how to plunge cut with the teeth
of the blade facing down.
Figure 12b shows how to plunge cut with the teeth
of the blade facing up.
Do not plunge cut into metal
surfaces.
a.
Depress the lock-off button to the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b.
Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped
in place to keep it from slipping or moving while
cutting.
c.
Select the appropriate type and size of blade for
the workpiece material and size. Install the blade
onto the tool.
d.
Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make sure
that the blade will extend beyond the shoe and
through the workpiece at all times.
e.
Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to expose
unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
f.
Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that
the blade will not contact another surface.
g.
Mark the line of cut clearly.
h.
Attach the battery pack to the reciprocating saw.
i.
If the blade is inserted with the teeth facing
downward, hold the tool as shown in Column A,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
j.
NOTICE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a
heavy gauge blade and install the blade with the
teeth facing upward relative to the normal
upright operating position of the saw, as show in
Column B.
k.
With the blade just above the workpiece, depress
the lock-off button to the unlock position and
squeeze the variable-speed trigger switch to
start the tool; allow it to come to the desired
speed. Then, using the edge of the shoe as a pivot,
lower the blade into the workpiece.
l.
As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly, until the shoe rests firmly on the
workpiece.
m.
After the blade has penetrated through the
workpiece, continue sawing along the marked
cutting line.
n.
Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before
removing the blade from the workpiece.
To reduce the risk of explosion,
electric
shock
and
property
damage, always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when making
blind or plunge cuts.
To avoid loss of control and serious
injury, make sure that the blade
reaches the full desired speed before touching it to
the workpiece.
Do not make plunge cuts in metal
materials.
METAL CUTTING
Never use the wood-cutting blade
for cutting metals. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet
steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass, and copper.
Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not
force the tool.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when cutting
soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will keep the blade
cool, increase the cutting action, and prolong blade
life.
To avoid possible serious injury:
•
Never use gasoline as cutting lubricant, because
normal sparking could ignite the fumes.
•
Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and
make the cut close to the clamping point to
minimize vibration.
•
When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp
the work in a vise, if possible, and cut close to the
vise.
•
To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the
material between pieces of hardboard or
plywood, and clamp the layers together to
reduce vibration and tearing of the material.
MAINTENANCE
To avoid serious personal injury,
remove the battery pack from the
tool before inspecting, cleaning, or performing
maintenance. A battery-operated tool with the
battery pack inserted is always on and can start
accidentally.
SERVICE
Preventive maintenance performed
by unauthorized personnel may
result in misplacing of internal wires and
components which could cause serious hazard. We
recommend that all tool service be performed by a
MOKENEYE Factory Service Center or Authorized
MOKENEYE Service Station.
