PREPARATION FOR WORK
Attention! All activities related to installation and replacement of the blade, adjustments and maintenance of the electric
tool must be realised when the tool is not powered, so before such tasks: Remove the plug of the cord of the saw from
the mains socket!
Installation and replacement of the blade (II)
Make sure the installed blade is not damaged or broken, and the cutting teeth are not broken, etc. In case any damage is detected,
it is required to replace the blade with a new one.
The saw is supplied along with two blades. The blade for wood and wood derivatives has wider spaced teeth, and the blade for
metal and plastics has smaller teeth. Select an adequate blade for the planned work. The blade must be installed with the teeth
directed towards the lower part of the housing.
Attention! Installation of the blade must be realised wearing protective gloves, which will reduce the risk of injuries.
Turn the clamp of the spindle and insert the fixture of the blade into the slot of the spindle. Turn the clamp in the opposite direction
and make sure the blade has been installed properly: the clamp has returned to the original position and the blade cannot be
removed from the spindle.
Adjustments of the height and the angle of the foot (III)
By means of adjustments of the height of the foot, the cutting height may be set. In order to do so, press the button located in the front
part of the body, indicated with an open padlock symbol, adjust the foot to the required height and then press the button indicated with
a closed padlock symbol. Make sure the foot will not change the height during operation. Adjustments of the foot may be gradual.
The foot permits continuous adjustments of the angle of the skid, and to do so, it should be inclined in relations to the foot guide.
This permits to adjust the cutting angle, without lifting the foot from the surface of the material being cut.
Adjustments of the oscillation of the blade (IV)
The saw permits gradual adjustments of the oscillation of the blade. Adjustments are realised with a lever. The lower the setting,
the lower oscillation of the blade. In case of adjustment „0", the oscillation of the blade is off.
The oscillation of the blade facilitates cutting, and its grade must be selected experimentally, for example cutting waste material.
However, the operator should follow the indications below:
- in order to obtain a smooth kerf, it is recommended to set the lowest possible oscillation or even turn it off,
- cutting thin materials (e.g. sheet metal plate), the oscillation should be turned off,
- cutting hard materials (e.g. steel), low oscillation should be selected,
- cutting soft materials, the maximum oscillation should be selected.
Adjustments of the velocity of the blade (V)
The saw is equipped with a potentiometer, which permits adjustments of the velocity of the blade. Turning the ring of the poten-
tiometer, it is possible to select an adequate velocity of the blade for the given task. The lower the setting, the lower the velocity
of the blade.
The velocity must be selected experimentally, for example cutting waste material. Lower velocity should be used while cutting
plastics or aluminium. The velocity must be reduced also in case the blade is seized during cutting.
USING THE TOOL
Before work make sure the protection of the blade is installed correctly and lowered. Wear eye and hearing protection, as well as
protective gloves. Fix the object to be cut to the work station, using clamps or an anvil, etc. Do not ever keep the material being cut
in your hands or other parts of the body. In case of cutting, support the material at its edges and close to the cutting line. Place the
supports at both sides of the cutting line, so that during cutting the blade is not seized in the kerf. During cutting the base must be
placed with the whole surface against the material being cut. Connect the dust extraction system to the connection point.
Turning the reciprocating saw on and off
Make sure the surface at the place of work is even, stable and free from dirt.
Adopt a secure and stable position.
Hold the tool by the handle. Do not support the tool on any object.
Press the switch with a finger and hold it. Make sure the blade moves freely and the tool does not vibrate excessively and does
not emit smoke or a suspicious smell. In case and irregularity is observed, turn the saw off, disconnect the plug from the mains
and have the tool repaired at an authorised service point.
The switch is equipped with a lock, which may be used during long cutting. When the switch is pressed down, press the lock button
and release the switch. The lock is released when the switch is pushed down.
The tool is turned off when it is unlocked and the switch is released. Once the tool has been turned off, the blade keeps moving
for a while.
