No one blade can be efficient on all cutting

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
controlled trigger switch. The tool can be
turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or
releasing the trigger. The blade plunger stroke
rate can be adjusted from the minimum to
maximum nameplate stroke rate by the
pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).
To reduce the risk of injury
immediately discontinue use
of the tool if the variable speed control ceases
to function. Subsequent loss of on/off control
of the trigger switch is likely.
Higher speed settings are generally used for
fast cutting or when softer cutting materials
such as wood, composite materials, and
plastics. Slower speed settings are generally
used when precision is required or when
cutting harder materials. Materials typically cut
using slower speeds include sheet metal,
conduit, and pipe.

1. Low stroke speed.
The low stroke speed is suitable for
s

steel, non-ferrous metal, hard

wood and plunge cutting.
The low stroke speed enables sawing with less
vibrations.

saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move

Following a few simple tips will reduce the
wear on the workpiece, the tool and the
operator.
1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On
fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc.,
place the good side of workpiece facing
down.
2. Use the correct saw blade for the material
being cut and keep extra blades on hand to
use when others become dull. Replace
cracked or bent blades immediately.
3. Select the footplate projection settings, as
well as the appropriate cutting speed.
4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the
blade always extends beyond the footplate
and work throughout the stroke. Blades
may shatter if the front on the blade hits the
work and/or the footplate.
5. When cutting metal:
- Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother,
faster cutting and longer blade life.
- For non-ferrous metals, aluminum,
bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the
blade.
- For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use
machine or cutting oil along the surface
to be cut.
6. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the
material between two pieces of scrap wood.
Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of
lumber on top of the metal can be used with
adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or
design on the wood.
7. Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and
blade do the work.

housing until the battery pack locks into
position (Fig. 1).
Your battery pack is equipped with a
secondary locking latch to prevent the battery
pack from completely falling out of the handle,
should it become loose due to vibration.
To remove the battery pack, press the battery

The reciprocating saw can be used to make
plunge cuts into softer material, (for example,
wood or light building materials for walls),
without a starting hole (Fig. 4).
1. Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work.
2. Set the tool with one edge of the footplate
firmly against the material.
3. Place the tip of the blade (not running) on the
line to be cut.
4. Tilt the saw so that the blade clears the work.
5. Squeeze the trigger switch and carefully
engage the moving saw blade into the material.
6. After the blade penetrates through the work,
continue sawing along the marked outline.

To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth
facing upward, and hold the saw upside down
as shown (Fig. 5).
Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces.
In thick materials and in harder materials,
such as metal, plunge cutting should not be
attempted. Such materials can be cut with the
recip saw only by starting the cut from the
edge of the material or from a hole drilled all
the way through the material that is large
enough to fit the saw blade.
