Cutting with Blade in Horizontal
Position (fi g. 7)
Your reciprocating saw is equipped with a horizontal
blade clamp. Installing a blade in the horizontal
orientation allows cutting close to floors, walls or
ceilings where limited clearance is available. Ensure
that the shoe is pressed against the framing to avoid
kickback.
Adjustable Shoe (fi g. 8)
CAUTION: Cut hazard. To prevent loss
of control, never use tool without shoe.
Your reciprocating saw comes with an adjustable
shoe. The shoe will adjust to limit the depth of cut.
Hold the saw with the underside facing up. Push the
button on the hand grip and slide the shoe out to
one of the three settings and release the button.
Cutting (fi g. 9–12)
WARNING: Always use eye
protection. All users and bystanders
must wear approved eye protection.
WARNING: Exercise extra caution
when cutting towards operator. Always
hold saw firmly with both hands while
cutting.
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is
firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
Place blade lightly against work to be cut, switch
on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applying pressure. Whenever
possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against
the material being cut (fig. 9). This will prevent the
saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade
breakage. Any cuts which put pressure on the
blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential
for vibration, kickback, and blade breakage.
WARNING: Use extra caution when
cutting overhead and pay particular
attention to overhead wires which may
be hidden from view. Anticipate the path
of falling branches and debris ahead of
time.
WARNING: Inspect work site for
hidden gas pipes, water pipes, or
electrical wires before making blind
or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may
result in explosion, property damage,
electric shock, and/or serious personal
injury.

FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIG. 10)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and
spindle housing permits extremely close cutting to
floors, corners and other difficult areas.
POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIG. 11)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the
surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber. Use the appropriate blade
for the application. The blade should be longer than
8.89 cm (3-1/2") and should extend past the shoe
and the thickness of the workpiece during the cut.
Insert blade in blade clamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge
of the shoe is resting on the work surface and the
blade clears the work surface (position 1, fig. 11).
Now switch motor on, and allow saw to come up to
speed. Grip saw firmly with both hands and begin
a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle
of the saw, keeping the bottom of the shoe firmly
in contact with the workpiece (position 2, fig. 11).
Blade will begin to feed into material. Always be
sure blade is completely through material before
continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use
the edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any
given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut
to be made.
METAL CUTTING (FIG. 12)
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities
depending upon type of blade used and the metal
to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals
and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In
thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood
to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always
remember not to force cutting blade as this reduces
blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when
cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or
other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut
for easier operation and longer blade life.

MAINTENANCE

Your D WALT power tool has been designed to
E
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
