How To Use The Reciprocating Saw - Hitachi CR 13V2 Safety Instructions And Instruction Manual

English
CAUTION:
Although this unit employs a powerful motor,
prolonged use at a low speed will increase the load
unduly and may lead to overheating. Properly
adjust the saw blade to allow steady, smooth
cutting operation, avoiding any unreasonable use
such as sudden stops during cutting operation.

HOW TO USE THE RECIPROCATING SAW

CAUTION:
Avoid carrying it plugged to the outlet with your
finger on the switch. A sudden startup can result
in an unexpected injury.
Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc.,
enter the inside of the machine through the
plunger section during operation. If sawdust and
the like accumulate in the plunger section, always
clean it before use.
Do not remove the front cover (refer to Fig. 2).
Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front
cover.
During use, press the base against the material
while cutting.
Vibration can damage the saw blade if the base is
not pressed firmly against the workpiece.
Furthermore, a tip of the saw blade can sometimes
contact the inner wall of the pipe, damaging the
saw blade.
Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.
Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the
saw blade after subtracting the stroke should be
larger than the material (see Fig. 16 and Fig. 18).
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc.,
that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there
is a risk that the blade may contact with the inner
wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage.
