2. With the pendulum control (2)
set at position , the blade
swings up and down as well
as moving backwards and
forwards. This “pendulum
action cutting” is very efficient
when cutting softer materials.
Note.
Pendulum action cutting
can leave a rough finish.
Use a file or rasp to clean up the cut edge if necessary.
WARNING
. Use the straight cutting mode when you wish
to make curved or clean cuts, even when working with
soft materials.
Changing the position of the shoe
CAUTION.
Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply.
1. Loosen the two shoe adjustment screws (10) with hex
key (11) and position the shoe to shield the length of
saw blade as required.
2. Re-tighten the shoe adjustment screws. Take care not
to overtighten the screws or you will strip the thread.
3. Position the angle of the shoe
as required by pivoting it on
its axis.
4. Where possible, rest the
shoe on the material being
cut. Change the angle of the
shoe to suit the shape of the
material.
CAUTION.
Do not operate the reciprocating saw if the
adjustable shoe is damaged or not installed.
Rotating the rear handle
CAUTION.
Always ensure that the saw is switched off and
unplugged from the power supply.
1. The rear handle (7) can be rotated in a circle to eight set
positions of operation, spaced 45° apart.
2. The rear handle must be “locked” into one of the eight
preset positions. It must not be used at any position in
between these eight preset positions as it might rotate
during use and create a hazard.
3. To rotate the handle (7) press
on the handle rotation release
switch (8) and move the
handle to one of the present
positions. It can be turned
three positions to the left and
four positions to the right.
General cutting
1. Hold the saw firmly in front and clearly away from you.
2. Make sure that the blade is clear of any obstruction and
that the power cord or any extension cord is out of the
path of the blade.
3. Ensure that the material to be cut is held firmly. Small
workpieces should be held in a vice or clamped to the
workbench.
