Grip secrets: Hold your reciprocating saw with both hands, just like holding the secret of victory. Stand firm and guide it with the strength of your hands, let the saw become a dancer in your hands.
The art of starting and stopping: Imagine you are painting a masterpiece, gently touch the canvas (that is, your material), and then start your reciprocating saw with passion. When you’re done, close it gracefully and slowly pull the saw blade back from the material, as if leaving space for the next creation.
Cutting rhythm: Keep a perfect rhythm, not too fast or too slow. Too fast may make your saw blade "overheat", while too slow may leave regrets on the work.
Just the right pressure: Use just the right amount of force to cut, just like playing a beautiful piano piece. Too much force may destroy the harmony, and too little force will make the melody lose its vitality.
Saw blades also need to cool down: Long cutting is like a marathon. Give your saw blades a proper rest and cooling, especially when cutting metal. Lubricants are its good friends.
Stay safe and enjoy cutting: When dealing with hard materials or close to the edge, be careful of the saw blade kicking back. Make sure you hold the saw firmly and push the saw blade gently to avoid forceful cutting.
