Plunge Cutting
This MILWAUKEE Sawzall
ting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from
an edge, such as walls or floors. Plunge cutting may
be done two ways depending on how the blade is
inserted. Column A shows how to plunge cut with the
teeth of the blade facing downward. Column B shows
how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing
upward. Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces (see
"Cutting Metals").
1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing
downward, hold the tool as shown in Column A,
resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
If you inserted the blade with the teeth facing up-
ward, hold the tool as shown in Column B, resting
the edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
2. With the blade just above the workpiece, pull the
trigger. Using the edge of the shoe as a pivot, lower
the blade into the workpiece as shown.
3. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the shoe rests firmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along your cutting
line to acquire the desired cut.
NOTE: To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade and install the blade with the teeth facing
upward as shown in Column B.
