One of the largest companies engaged in the production of garden equipment in Russia is the Interskol company. This manufacturer has many branches abroad, and every year it only improves. Over the past 10 years, this enterprise has increased the number of manufactured products dozens of times, however, the line of reciprocating power saws is represented by the only model - NP-120 / 1010E. This is a high-performance knife device that can be used in a wide variety of areas: in the manufacture of furniture, at a construction site or at home - in the country or in a country house.

The company "Interskol" declares that its products can be used for cutting wooden surfaces, metal sheets, bricks, aerated concrete and more. These tools are widely used for the assembly and disassembly of large wooden surfaces. In addition, the saw can be used for garden cleaning and in hobbyists' workshops. In addition to the saw itself and the box, the package includes detailed instructions for use, safety instructions, a warranty card with the manufacturer's seal, additional cutters (2 pcs.) For working on wood or metal, as well as a small list of service centers in different cities of Russia.

This unit is manufactured at domestic enterprises. The NP-120 / 1010E electric saw belongs to the budget price segment. Almost immediately after the company introduced this device to the market, it became very popular. The reason for this success was several factors: ergonomics, low price and technical characteristics that fully meet modern requirements.

Thanks to several types of cutting blades, this design can be used for cutting the most durable surfaces. Please note that this device has been tested in several foreign organizations, and received a high score everywhere. Reciprocating saw NP-120 / 1010E fully complies with all EU standards.

After the success of this product, Interskol began to actively develop in this area. Recently, battery-powered reciprocating saw designs were unveiled, which will eliminate the need for an operator to be tied to power lines. This concept was presented with increased power, a different design, a modified ergonomic handle. This model will be entirely produced in Russia.

The NP-120 / 1010E reciprocating saw is assembled in the Russian Federation, but all components are manufactured outside of it. Therefore, buyers need to be completely confident that they are looking at original products and not Chinese rework. The positive feature of this product is that it can function normally even under unstable voltage conditions. There is a function of adjusting the working stroke, and the motor power is 1100 watts.

A 2.8 cm long cutting element is preinstalled here. If you are working on wood, then the tool will allow you to make a cut 2.5 cm deep, and if for metal, then 1.2 cm. It is possible to adjust the speed of revolutions per minute. Specifications:

• Many service centers scattered throughout Russia, providing the opportunity for high-quality and cheap repairs.

• there is no possibility of installing large-sized cutters, the maximum thickness is 1.5 mm;
• a smooth start is not provided, due to which a large load falls on the engine immediately after switching on;
• fast grinding of the cutting blade.

According to reviews, the body of the 120 / 1010E reciprocating saw is made of impact-resistant plastic. The components are also very durable, but despite this, the tool very often breaks down and needs a little repair. With careful use and timely detection of damage, this unit can be used for several years. The main thing is to strictly follow all operating rules and perform timely maintenance.

Even heavy-duty cinder blocks can be cut with reciprocating saws. Recommended operating conditions - from -10 to + 40 ° С. Experts advise against working in bad weather, as the ingress of water can cause a short circuit. A few tips from experienced craftsmen will help you operate the tool smoothly.

• Before starting to cut, be sure to inspect the device for all components.
• If you work with a reciprocating saw in the cold season, then after completing the work, it should be left in a warm room until it dries completely.
• Always inspect all fixing elements. Each bolt must be fully tightened.
• The device is operated only at idle speed.

And a few more tips for sawing surfaces.

• During operation, do not put much pressure on the saw.
• Check the working part periodically to make sure it is free of chips and other debris.
• Coolers must not be blocked. Due to poor ventilation, the unit will become very hot and quickly fail.
• Cutting metal requires a constant supply of oil. Lubrication is essential to improve performance.
• Hold the tool at a 90 degree angle while cutting. Even minimal inclinations can cause a crooked cut.

A very important point is the maintenance of any equipment. Reciprocating saws are no exception.

• You cannot start work if at least some malfunctions are noticed. Each problem should be eliminated before starting the device.
• After finishing work, do not touch the cutting part with your hands, otherwise a skin burn is inevitable.
• When buying a new anchor, some measurements should be taken. It is necessary to find out the radius of the winding, the total length of the element and the bearing seats.
• If you have just installed or replaced the cutting head, make sure that it is well secured.
• A saw blade designed for cutting wood should not be used with metal.
• During operation, you must strictly follow the safety instructions described in the corresponding brochure.
