the shoe, so that the moving saw blade pierces the workpiece.
6. As the blade starts cutting, continue to pivot the tool until the entire shoe
rests firmly on the workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cutting line to
make the desired cut.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property
damage, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or
water pipes when making blind or plunge cut.
7. Release the trigger switch. Allow the saw to come to complete stop before
removing the blade from the workpiece.
WARNING! To avoid loss of control and serious injury, make sure that the
blade reaches maximum speed before touching it to the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
Do not force.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when cutting soft metals and steel.
Cutting oil will keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong
blade life.
WARNING! Never use gasoline, because normal sparking could ignite the
fumes.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and make the cut close to the
clamping point in order to minimize the workpiece vibration.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if
possible, and cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between pieces of
hardboard or plywood, and clamp the layers together in order to reduce
vibration and tearing of the material.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualified service technician at a MASTERFORCE Service Center.
WARNING! For your safety, always turn off the switch and unplug the re-
ciprocating saw from the power source before performing any maintenance
or cleaning.
Periodic maintenance of your reciprocating saw allows for long life and
trouble-free operation. The saw can generate considerable quantities of
cutting residue.
A cleaning, lubrication and maintenance schedule should be maintained.
As a common-sense and preventive maintenance practice, follow these
recommended steps:
Inspect the blade; Check it for wear or damage.
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating of the
motor.
Electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure when they are used to work on fiberglass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings
from these materials are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts,
such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not
recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard, spackling compound, or plaster. During any use
on these materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air jet.
Use a soft clean and damp cloth to wipe the tool housing. A mild detergent
can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. Never
use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
WARNING! Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING! When changing a blade immediately after operation, allow the
blade to cool before removing it to avoid possible burning.
WARNING! Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plas-
tics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
