Saw Operations; General Cutting - Grizzly T10874 Owner's Manual

Saw Operations

Failure to wear safety glasses while
operating the saw could cause seri-
ous personal eye injury.
Operating Reciprocating Saw
Most operations performed with the Model
T10874 will produce the best results at
higher SPM (stroke per minute) settings;
however, slower SPM settings are ideal
when working with plastics that melt easily.
High SPM Uses
High SPM's are best for general cutting.
The blade removes material more quickly
at higher SPM's.
Low SPM Uses
Low SPM's are best for cutting materi-
als that have low melting points, such as
plastics.
Use low-SPM settings when working
with plastics or other materials with
low melting points. Melted plastics
can liquefy, be thrown into the air,
and stick to the operator, causing
serious personal injury.
