To use the standard clamp, remove the quick change clamp assembly by unscrewing the set screw which holds it onto the draw bar. Then assemble the standard clamp with the screw and lockwasher provided. Operating Instructions VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED TRIGGER SWITCH 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. 2-SPEED SELECTOR LEVER In addition to the variable speed trigger switch, the saw is also equipped with a two speed switch which is controlled with a selector lever . When the selector lever is pointed to the left, the saw will operate up to its maximum speed of 2700 SPM (strokes per minute). This speed setting is generally used when cutting softer materials such as wood. When the selector lever is pointed to the right, the saw will operate up to the lower speed of 1900 SPM. This speed setting is generally used when cutting harder materials such as steel. -7 FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT The footplate pivots in order to keep a relatively large surface in contact with the work. It can be locked into 1 of 3 positions to optimize blade life and/or to limit blade protrusion beyond the end of the footplate when cutting into large diameter pipe or into walls. To adjust the footplate position, simply push the area 4 indicated by the symbol on the boot and move the footplate into the desired position. The locking mechanism is spring loaded to lock into one of the 3 notches on the footplate bracket. ! WARNING Pushing the footplate release button while sawing may cause the foot to release from the desired settings. ORBIT SELECTOR To obtain the best cutting advance in various types of materials, your saw has a blade orbit selector to adjust the swing of the saw blade. When cutting into wood and plastic, as well as other soft materials, a larger swing of the blade is desired. There are two orbit selector positions (see figure page 6). The non-orbit position (metal), move the orbit selector lever toward the straight cut symbol and for a full BM 2610910645 12/00 1/23/01 10:53 AM Page 8 orbit (wood), move the selector lever toward the orbit cut symbol. The non-orbit gives the best cutting advance and extends blade life when cutting steel and similar hard materials which have more resistance to cut. For materials that have less resistance to cut, the orbit position can be selected for the best cutting advance. The orbit selector can be adjusted with the motor switched on or at a standstill. USING THE SAW 1. Securely clamp the work. 2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with one hand on the handle and the other placed on the front housing. ! WARNING Always operate the saw with the insulated boot on the front housing. 3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the work to minimize counter-force (jumping) and vibration. 4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the saw reach full speed before starting the cut. Guide the saw so that the blade will move along the marked line. Sawing Tips Following a few simple tips will reduce the wear on both the tool and the operator. 1. The blade cuts on the draw or back stroke. On fine work, such as paneling, fiber glass, 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. When cutting metal, apply a lubricant for easier, smoother, faster cutting and longer blade life. 4. 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. 5. 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. POCKET CUTS The reciprocating saw can be used to make plunge cuts into material, if it is not too hard (for example, wood or light building materials for walls), without a starting hole. In harder materials, such as metal, a hole large enough to take the saw blade should be drilled beforehand. 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. ! WARNING The use of any accessories not specified in this manual may create a hazard. -8 BM 2610910645 12/00 1/23/01 10:53 AM Page 9 Mai...
