Work Hints For Your Reciprocating Saw If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to maximum and run a no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. The blade guard must be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
Technical Data Vibration Information WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
