3. Cutting operation
<Cutting metallic materials>
CAUTION
● Press the base fi rmly against the workpiece.
● Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw
blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break
the blade.
● The motor can be locked sometimes, depending
on the combination of the material to be cut and
the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked,
switch it off immediately.
● Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Reciprocating saw create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
(1) Fasten a workpiece fi rmly before operation. (Fig. 19)
(2) When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine
oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine
oil, apply grease over the workpiece.
CAUTION
The service life of the saw blade will be drastically
shortened if you don't use machine oil.
<Cutting lumber>
When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is
fastened fi rmly before beginning. (Fig. 20)
CAUTION
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw
blade when cutting. Also remember to press the
base against the lumber fi rmly.

<Sawing curved lines>
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade
mentioned in Page 21 for the saw blade since it is
tough and hardly breaks.
CAUTION
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material
into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast
feed may break the blade.
<Plunge cutting>
With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on
plywood panels and thin board materials. You can
carry out plunge cutting quite easily with the saw
blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 22, 23,
24.
NOTE
If the base is set to the position closest to the tool
body, it becomes easier to make starter holes.
Base
Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as
possible. We recommend for this purpose that
you use BI-METAL Blade 725362 mentioned in
Page 21.
Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation
and observe the following procedures.
(1) Press the lower part of the base against the material.
Pull the trigger switch while keeping the tip of the saw
blade apart from the material. (Fig. 22)
(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade
little by little. (Fig. 23)
(3) Hold the body fi rmly until the saw blade completely
cuts into the material. (Fig. 24)
