Reciprocating Saw Adler MAR176, corded electric, model MAR176

The Adler MAR176 reciprocating saw is a corded electric sabre saw designed for demolition, renovation and general cutting tasks. It delivers controlled reciprocating motion for straight and plunge cuts in wood, metal and plastics. The tool accepts standard reciprocating blades, provides stable handling for site and workshop use, and is intended for users who need a reliable corded saw for construction, plumbing and DIY projects.

Advantages

The Adler MAR176 offers constant power from a corded supply, enabling uninterrupted cutting performance without battery changes or recharging. Its reciprocating mechanism is suitable for aggressive material removal and plunge cuts while maintaining control for guided straight cuts. Compatibility with standard blades makes blade replacement simple and widens the range of applications. The design balances cutting ability with handling suitable for extended use in renovation and construction environments.

Suitable for

• Demolition and rough cutting of timber framing and boards
• Cutting metal pipes, profiles and sheet metal with appropriate blades
• Plunge cuts and openings for renovation and retrofitting
• Cutting plastic pipes, panels and composite materials
• Site work and workshop tasks requiring a corded reciprocating saw

When it may not be suitable

The MAR176 is a corded electric reciprocating saw and therefore requires access to mains power; it is not suitable for remote locations where no electrical supply is available. For precision finish work, fine woodworking or very delicate cuts, a dedicated jigsaw or precision saw may be more appropriate than a reciprocating saw designed for rough and demolition tasks.

Key specifications

• Power type: corded electric
• Saw type: reciprocating / sabre saw
• Cutting materials: wood, metal, plastics (with appropriate blades)
• Blade compatibility: standard reciprocating blades
• Intended use: demolition, renovation, construction and DIY

How to use

Fit a suitable reciprocating blade for the material to be cut, ensuring it is securely locked in the blade holder according to the tool's instructions. Connect the tool to a properly rated mains socket and confirm that any safety switches are set before operation. Use a steady two-handed grip and position the shoe against the workpiece to stabilise the cut; start the saw and allow the blade to reach full stroke before applying forward pressure. For plunge cuts, mark the entry point and begin at low pressure to control the initial engagement. Change blades when performance declines or when switching between materials.

What to consider before purchase

• Availability of mains power at the worksite — this is a corded tool
• Requirement to buy appropriate blades for wood, metal or plastic cutting
• Intended use: suited to demolition and rough cuts rather than precision finishing
• Compatibility with existing accessories or blade types you already own

Usage recommendations

Use blades matched to the material and blade tooth pattern for best results, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, hearing protection and gloves), and clamp or support the workpiece to reduce vibration and improve cutting accuracy.
