FLUSH cu'rrlNG (Figure 5)

1.The compact design of the motor housing and the blade guard on this reciprocating saw allows for extremely close cutting in floors, corners and in other extremely close areas.

2.To maximize the flush cutting capability of this saw, insert the blade shaft into the blade holder with the teeth of the

blade facing as close as possible to the work surface.

WOOD CUTTING (Figure 6)

1.ALWAYS clamp the workpiece down to prevent it from slipping.

2.Place blade and blade guard lightly against surface to be cut.

3.Turn on saw and allow it to come

to full speed before applying pressure to the workpiece.

4.ALWAYS hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible, saw guard must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

NOTE: Wear gloves if cutting for long periods.
