Functional Description
The Reed Saw It
is a pneumatic reciprocating saw that
®
provides power for cutting plastic, steel, and stainless steel
pipe. It cuts ABS, Aluminum, Copper, CPVC, PE, PP, PVC
C900 & C905, PVC Heavy Wall, PVC Sch. 40 & 80, Steel/
Stainless Steel Sch. 40 & 80, Steel Tubing, HDPE
Specifications/Standard Equipment
Cutting Capacity depends on blade type and length. Use
blades at least six inches longer than outside diameter of the
pipe being cut. Use finer pitch blades on thinner walls. A useful
rule of thumb: Keep three blade teeth engaged at all times.
For speed, straightness of cut, long life and safety, bi-
metal blades are the best choice for the Reed Saw It
Heavy Duty Power Hack Saws made by Widder

can cause serious injury should the blade break or jam
in the material.
•
Blades are made of high speed steel and can fracture
and break if used improperly. Ensure blades are sharp,
ensure there exists ample side and forward clearance,
and bring the tool up to speed slowly to avoid shock to
blade.
1. Remove nuts and plate from the Rail.
2. Attach blade.
3. Reinstall plate and nuts.
4. Attach SAWITVISE (#04600) to material/pipe.
5. Mount Saw It

, and
6. Connect air supply.
7. Apply coolant as needed.
8. Hold blade away from material to be cut, depress safety
lever and squeeze deadman switch to start saw,
slowly contact material. Use light pressure on the blade
in the beginning and at the end of the cut.
9. Release deadman switch to stop saw.
USE A FILTER-REGULATOR-LUBRICATOR (FRL) UNIT.
It is imperative that a filter, regulator, lubricator be employed
when running the Saw It®. Pneumatic motors are sensitive to
contamination and are subject to wear, rust and sludge if not
maintained properly. They require clean air and proper lubri-
cation. Reed does not supply this unit with a Filter-Regulator-
Std.
Lubricator. Reed FRL #97591 is sold separately. The FRL
includes a stand and the unit is specifically tailored to the needs
10
of the saw's high speed motor.
10
USE NONFLUID OIL® AIR LUBRICANT.
10
This product mixes with water inside the line and via the lubrica-
10
tor is introduced as a mist in the air stream to provide lubrication
10
fairly quickly. Set the Oiler drip on the lubricator to 3-4 drops per
10
minute. Nonfluid lubricating oil is sold by the quart from Reed
10
as UPOIL #97583.

Adjust Filter, Regulator, Lubricator
1. Before pressurizing, fill the oiler with Nonfluid oil by remov-
ing the black cap on the top. (Do not exceed the maxi-
mum fill line.) Replace cap.
2. Set air pressure on the regulator to 90 PSI maximum.
Loosen wing-nut on bottom of regulator, and turn
large knob clockwise until pressure is attained.
3. Set the Oiler drip on the lubricator to 3-4 drops per minute.
Maintenance
Warning: Disconnect air supply before servicing.
Note: Filtered and oiled air will allow the saw to operate more
efficiently and parts will last longer.
1. After every 40 hours of operation: Flush the air mo-
tor with a solution of three (3) parts cleaning solvent
and one (1) part light oil. After flushing, pour about a
teaspoon of spindle oil in the air outlet and run for
two ( 2) minutes.
2. After every 100 hours of operation: Remove #97653
End Cover and repack with grease.
3. After every 500 hours of operation or annually:
Disassemble the tool, clean, grease and oil.
