Reciprocating Saw Introduction: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:52, 9 October 2024

This is the content required for an introduction to our reciprocating saw and jigsaws - reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a tutor! It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

If you need this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors: Lukas, Patrick, Johannes, Luzian, Sebastian, Utis, Philip

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the corresponding tool's manual:

Safety

Personal protection:

Additional protection for toxic or allergenic woods (especially hardwoods, e.g. beech and oak - see "dust") or for certain surface finishes or chemicals:

Dangers	Precautions
sharp oscillating blade - possible kickback	you MUST NOT turn on the saw when the blade is already touching something (e.g. the workpiece) you MUST let the baseplate touch the workpiece before starting to cut blind cut: leave the sawblade in the cut until it has stopped through cut: make sure the blade has stopped moving before putting the saw back on the table you MUST make sure the blade path is free and you won't cut into the table or similar you MUST make sure the blade is long enough so that it can reach through the material when fully retracted (too short a blade relative to the material being cut will cause dangerous kickback) you MUST make sure there are no obstacles such as nails in your path before starting a cut you MUST secure the workpiece with clamps so nothing shifts and nothing large falls down once the cut is made
generates dust and small chips	you MUST wear goggles you SHOULD hook up the shop vac (and deactivate the "dust blow" function of the saw, if available) if your workpiece is contaminated with chemicals or made from hard woods like beech (Buche) or oak (Eiche), you SHOULD use a dust mask
generates noise	you MUST wear ear defenders
the blade can get very hot remains hot for a while after using	when you see smoke, immediately stop and inspect the saw - the blade might be dull or jammed in the workpiece. Also do not stay in the same place for too long!
no prevention of turning on after loss & restoration of power (keine Anlaufsicherung)	you MUST make sure the locking button is "off" before plugging the saw in (the trigger should move freely)

Demonstration

During the introduction, the tutor will show you the following:

inserting/removing saw blades
choosing and changing the pendulum or orbital action settings (Bosch PFZ 700 PE: chapter 7 in the manual)

Besides these safety notes, you should know which type of blade is suitable for the material you want to cut!
