METAL CUTTING
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 cutting action, and prolong blade life.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and make the cut close to the clamping point to minimize
vibration.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and cut close to the vise.
3. 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
Before each use, inspect the reciprocating saw, on/off switch and cord for damage. Check for damaged,
missing, or worn parts. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, or any other
conditions that may affect the operation. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, turn the tool off immediately
and have the problem corrected before further use.
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, the tool should be unplugged from the power supply. Using
compressed air may be the most effective cleaning method. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
• Do not make plunge cuts in metal materials.
• Never use gasoline as a cutting oil, because normal sparking could ignite the fumes.
WARNING!
• Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oil, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord.
• To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
