Do not use specialty blades that are very short or those with a significant cant. Blade must not contact footplate. A blade which is too short or canted could jam inside the foot and snap. NOTE: If you require a basic (Allen wrench) blade clamp for any reason (extra thick blades, very thin blades, etc.) an optional basic blade clamp kit is sold separately. It contains a clamp, Allen wrench, screw and lock washer. To use the basic clamp, remove the tool-less clamp assembly by unscrewing the setscrew that holds it onto the draw bar. Then assemble the basic clamp with the screw and lock washer provided (Fig. 1). FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of its surface in contact with the work surface Fig. 5 (a). The footplate assembly can also be locked into one of three projection positions to optimize blade life and/or to reduce blade protrusion beyond the end of the footplate, such as when cutting into large diameter pipe or into walls. To adjust the footplate position, simply push the footplate release button and move the footplate into the desired position. The locking mechanism is spring-loaded to lock into one of the 3 positions on the footplate assembly. If the footplate is pulled out so far that a notch shows at the other end of the FIG. 5 FIG. 6 FOOTPLATE RELEASE BUTTON (a) (b) shaft, the footplate assembly is extended too far out, and must be retracted to the one of the 3 positions Fig. 5 (b). !WARNING Do not push the footplate release button while sawing. It will cause the footplate to release from the desired settings and you may lose control and be injured. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade extends beyond the footplate and all the way through the workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the blade hits the footplate or hits the work at an angle that is nearly head-on (Fig. 6). -9 BM 2610925947 6-05 6/10/05 10:35 AM Page 10 FOOTPLATE servicing (Fig. 7): To remove the footplate assembly for 1. Remove the blade. 2. Press and hold footplate release button in. 3. Pull the footplate assembly out as far as it will go. 4. Rotate it clockwise (as viewed from the back of the saw) about 90 degrees until it releases. 5. Pull footplate assembly completely out. To re-insert, reverse this process. !WARNING Always use tool with the footplate. Using tool without the footplate will cause instability, expose the blade, and may damage the spindle. FIG. 7 RELEASE BUTTON FOOTPLATE ASSEMBLY 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 insulated rubber boot over the front housing. !WARNING Always operate the saw with the insulated boot on the front housing. If you saw into a blind area where live wiring exists, you may be shocked or electrocuted. 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 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 appropriate stroke length and footplate projection settings, as well as the appropriate cutting speed. and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the front on the blade hits the work and/or the footplate. WRONG RIGHT 5. When cutting metal: -Use the 3/4” (19 mm) stroke length to achieve (less vibration, less heat, and longer blade life). -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. Use the 3/4" (19 mm) stroke for reduced vibration in the material. 4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the 7. Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and blade always extends beyond the footplate blade do the work. -10 BM 2610925947 6-05 6/10/05 10:35 AM Page 11 FIG. 9 FIG. 8 POCKET/PLUNGE CUTS 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. 8). 1. Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work. 2. Adjust the footplate position or change blades as necessary. 3. Set the stroke length selector switch to the 3/4" (19 mm) stroke le...
