JIG SAW / RECIPROCATING SAW MODES (FIGURES F, F1)
The LPS7000 can be used in two different ways:
JIG SAW MODE - Blade teeth face forward as
shown in figure F.
RECIPROCATING MODE - Blade teeth face
downward as shown in figure F1.
The LPS7000 accepts T-shank blades only.
Thin kerf 10tpi or higher blade recommended
.
BLADE CLAMP RELEASE LEVER (FIGURE G)
CAUTION: Burn hazard. Recently used
blades may be hot.
To install blade into saw:
Push down on the blade clamp release lever (5)
to its full open position as shown.
Insert blade shank (9) from the front.
Release the blade clamp release lever (5).
To remove blade from saw:
Push down on the blade clamp release
lever (5) to its full open position.
Remove blade.
Release the blade clamp release lever (5).
WOOD CUTTING
NOTE: Use “T” shank 10tpi or higher, thin kerf blades.
Before cutting any type of wood, use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Place shoe firmly against work to be cut.
Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
Whenever possible, the shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will
prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
TREE TRIMMING
Hold shoe firmly against tree branch. If possible, cut close to the trunk to minimize
movement of the branch.
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE H)
NOTE: Use “T” shank 18-24 tpi metal
cutting blade.
In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to
clamp thin plywood to underside of sheet.
This will ensure a clean cut without excess
vibration or tearing of metal.
Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces
blade life and causes costly blade
breakage.
When cutting metal piping, do not cut
directly through the pipe as you would saw
a wooden dowel. Instead, cut around the
circumference of the pipe to avoid pinching
the blade. Only one section of the blade
should be in contact with the pipe.
NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the
saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is
preferred.
PROJECT TIPS
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
