DUAL BLADE MOTION - PC850RSO ONLY
(FIGURE 5)
The PC850RSO has dual blade motion:
straight reciprocating motion or orbital motion.
Straight reciprocating motion is used for all
metal cutting operations and for wood cutting
applications where finish is more important
than speed. To set the saw for straight
reciprocating motion, hold the saw as shown
in figure 5 and slide the button
to the left.
Orbital motion is used for fast cutting of
wood. To set the saw for orbital action, hold
the saw as shown in figure 5 and
slide the button to the right.
ADJUSTABLE SHOE - PC850RSO ONLY (FIGURE 6)
:
CUT HAZARD. Blade
breakage may occur if the blade does not
extend past the shoe and the workpiece
during the cut. Increased risk of personal
injury, as well as damage to the shoe and
workpiece may result.
:
CUT HAZARD. Turn off and
disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments or removing or
installing attachments or accessories.
The shoe will adjust to limit the depth of cut.
Hold the saw with the underside facing up.
Push the button (shown in Figure 6) on the
hand grip and slide the shoe out to one of
the three settings and release the button.
:
CUT HAZARD. To prevent
loss of control, never use tool without shoe.
:
RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. Ensure
the shoe is locked into position before using
tool.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE 7)
• The compact design of the reciprocating
saw motor housing and pivoting shoe
permit close cutting to floors, corners and
other difficult areas.
• To maximize flush cutting capabilities,
insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp
with the teeth of the blade facing up.
• Turn the saw upside down so you are as
close to the work surface as possible.
