GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 8.
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade isclear of any foreign material and that
power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path. Be
sure material to be cut isheld firmly. Small work pieces should
be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work
bench ortable. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the trigger
switch starting the cutting action, set the base assembly on
the work, then move the blade into the work. DO NOT
FORCE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
Let the blade and saw do the work_
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 9.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting
point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the blade
over that point. Rest front edge of base assembly on work and
hold firmly in position. NOTE: Make sure blade does not
touch work until motor reaches full speed, since this could
cause loss of control resulting in serious injury. With saw
blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward until tip
of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates work, tilt
saw until blade is perpendicular to the work_ _.

OPERATION
FLUSH CUTTING
See Figure 10.
Your saw has been designed with a flush cutting feature
which permits cutting close to floors or walls. To fit your
cutting requirements, cuts may bemade ineither directionby
reversing the position of the blade in the blade clamp_ See
page 8 for instructions on installing Flush Cutting Blade.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 11.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist
or bend the saw blade, DO NOT FORCE. We recommend
cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel Cutting oil
will also keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and
prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work 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.
POWER CORD
See Figure 12_
An added feature of your electronic reciprocating saw is an
extra-long 10 ft, power cord that stays soft and flexible in cold
weather. The plug design is shaped so that itwont snag on
your work during use. A molded cord clip on the plug makes
cord storage easier.

THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES ARE CURRENTLY
It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds,
or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are
highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc, Consequently, it is not recommended that
this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use
on these materials, it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jeL
