6. OPERATION

Operating modes
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Pivoting and Retractable bracket (Figure 2)
Due to its movability, the adjustable bracket 4 adapts to the required angular position of the surface.
Depending on the application and the saw blade being used, the show 4 can be moved variably in length
direction.
Loosen the bottom screw with Allen key and move the bracket 4 to the requested position. Tighten the screws
again and check if the bracket 4 is tightly seated.
Power Switch and lock-on Button:
To start saw, squeeze Power Switch with fi nger. The speed can be adjusted between 1000–3000 rpm through
rotating the speed controller from 1 to 6 . (Figure 3) To maintain a certain speed, follow the previous instruction
and engage the lock on Button. To disengage Lock-on Button, simply squeeze the Power Switch to release.
Rotating Handle
Press the rotating button, the reciprocating saw could rotate 90o on left and right side to meet different cutting
angle requirement. (Figure 4)
General Cutting:
Hold your saw fi rmly in front and clearly away from you. Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material
and that power cord and extension cord are out of the blade path. Be sure material to be cut is held fi rmly.
Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a vice or with clamps to the work bench or table. Mark the
line of cut clearly. Pull in the power switch to start the cutting action. Set the shoe on the work. DO NOT FORCE.
Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Allow the blade and saw to do the work.
Plunge Cutting: (Figure 5)
Clearly mark the line of cut. From a convenient starting point within the cut out area, place the tip of the blade
over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut. Slowing lower the saw until the button edge of the shoe rests
on the workpiece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly let the
saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular to
the workpiece.
Working Advice
Tips
When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the
recommendations of the material suppliers.
Check wood, press boards, building materials,etc. for foreign objects such as nails, screws or similar, and
always use the correct sawblade.
Switch the machine on and guide it toward the workpiece. Position the base plate onto the surface of the
work and saw through the material applying uniform contact pressure and feed. After completing the working
procedure, switch the machine off.
