manual abstract
All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded. WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety pre- cautions to avoid electrical shock. Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing. ELECTRIC MOTOR Your tool has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. SWITCH The recriprocating saw has a conveniently located trigger switch. VARIABLE SPEED The recriprocating saw has a variable speed dial designed to allow operator control of speed and power limits. TOOLLESS BLADE CHANGE SYSTEM The toolless blade change system eliminates the need for tools when changing the blade. ERGONOMIC DESIGN The design of this tool provides for easy handling. It is designed for comfort and ease of grasp when operating in different positions and at different angles. WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. 6 BASE ASSEMBLY BLADE TRIGGER SWITCH VARIABLE SPEED DIAL 7 OPERATION OPERATION WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. TURNING THE SAW ON/OFF See Figure 2. Follow these directions to turn the saw on and off. ¦ To turn the saw on: Depress the switch trigger. ¦ To turn the saw off: Release the switch trigger. ADJUSTING THE SPEED See Figure 3. The variable speed feature allows the saw to operate at speeds that can be increased by rotating the dial from 1 to 6. The dial is conveniently located on the handle, allowing operator control of blade speed. Follow these directions to adjust the speed. ¦ To increase the speed: Turn the dial to a higher setting. ¦ To decrease the speed: Turn the dial to a lower setting. SELECTING BLADES Selecting the correct type of blade is important in order to obtain the best performance from your saw. Select the blade based on the application and on the material you wish to cut. Selecting the right blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and prolong the life of the blade. Blades with fewer teeth, 10 teeth per inch (TPI) are typically used for cutting wood, while blades with more teeth are better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI for hard metals. INSTALLING BLADES The toolless blade change system eliminates the need for tools when changing the blade. See Figure 4. Follow these directions to install blades. ¦ Unplug the saw. WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 6 1 TO DECREASE SPEED TO INCREASE SPEED LIFT TO INSTALL BLADE ¦ Lift the blade release lever. ¦ Insert the blade fully, tooth side down. ¦ Lower the blade release lever. 8 OPERATION OPERATION OPERATING THE SAW See Figure 5. Follow these directions to operate the saw. ¦ Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a vise or with clamps. ¦ Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material and that the power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path. ¦ Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. ¦ Mark the line of cut clearly. ¦ Depress the trigger switch to start the cutting action. ¦ Set the base assembly against the workpiece. ¦ Move the blade into the workpiece. NOTE: Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Keep pressure on the base, against the workpiece. PLUNGE CUTTING See Figure 6. Follow these directions to plunge cut. ¦ Secure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a vise or with clamps. ¦ Make sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign material and that the power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path. ¦ Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. ¦ Mark the line of cut clearly. ¦ Choose a convenient starting point inside the cutting area and place the tip of the blade over that point. ¦ Rest the front edge of the base assembly on the workpiece and hold it firmly in position during the cut. ¦ ...
