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.
