Instruction manual

Reciprocating saw WX80RS
follow your work surface.
6. PIVOTING BLADE FOOT
The pivoting blade foot must be held firmly against
the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping and blade breakage.
7. FLUSH CUTTING
It is possible to make cuts extremely close to floors,
walls and other difficult areas. Insert the blade shank
into the blade clamp with the blade teeth facing up
(opposite to normal working position). This will make
cuts closer to the work surface (See Fig E). Using
special flexible blades insert the blade into the blade
clamp with the blade teeth facing down (normal
working position). It will allow flush pipe cutting
(See Fig F).
8. WOOD CUTTING
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly clamped to
prevent movement. For easier control use low speed
to start cutting, then increase to the correct speed
(See Fig G).
9. METAL CUTTING
This saw has different metal cutting capacities
depending upon the type of blade being used and
metal being cut.
ALWAYS clamp the work down to prevent it from
slipping.
Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin gauge sheet metals, ALWAYS
clamp wood on both sides of the sheet. This will give
you a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of
the metal.
DO NOT force the cutting blade. Forcing the blade
will reduce blade life and cause the blade to break.
NOTE: We recommend that you spread a thin film of
oil or other coolant along the line of cut ahead of the
saw. This will allow easier operation and help extend
blade life. When cutting aluminum, use kerosene.
10. POCKET CUTTING (Soft materials only)
Mark the pocket or internal hole to be cut out. Insert
the special cutting blade with blade teeth facing down
and clamp securely. Angle the saw so that the back
edge of the blade guard is resting on the work surface
(See Fig H.1 and Fig H.2). Use a slow speed to start the
cut to avoid breaking the blade but increase to correct
