Sioux Tools 1300 Instructions

Reciprocating air saw

NO. 1300 RECIPROCATING AIR SAW

The efficiency and Iife of this tool depend on the proper supply of clean, dry, lubricated air at about

90 lbs. P.S.I., although higher or lower pressures may be used. The use of an air line filter, pressure

regulator and lubricator is recommended.

Before connecting the tool, blow the air line to remove water and dirt which may have accumulated.

This is especially important for a new line or when the line has not been used for some time.

The air supply hose is 3/8" I.D. If extension hose is necessary, use 1/2" hose, with couplings not less

than 3/8" I.D.

Preparing the saw for use - Select the proper type and length of blade to suit the work. See blade

chart.

Loosen the blade clamp screw with an Allen type wrench to permit slipping the tang of the blade into

place. Make sure that the hole in the blade is located on the stud of the blade clamp. Tighten blade

clamp screw securely. Do not over tighten as the thread could be stripped.

Wood Cutting - Rest the blade on the work. Hold the saw guide or shoe firmly against the work,

actuate the throttle. Holding the tool firmly with two hands feed the blade into the work. Following

this procedure will minimize jumping, vibration, and blade breakage. See drawings below.

Page 2 Metal Cutting - Your reciprocating saw is capable of cutting a variety of metals, and other hard material. Refer to the blade chart for the type and length of blade most suitable for the material to be cut. When cutting thin gauge materials best results are obtained by clamping the material between two pieces of wood.
Page 3 LUBRICATION An oil supply to the air motor is important. SIOUX air line lubricators are recommended. Adjust to deliver2 drops of SIOUX Air Motor Oil No.288 per minute. When air line lubricator is not used remove the plug from the handle and fill the chamber with oil. Refill every four hours of operation.
