OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Plunge Cutting
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge cutting
directly into surfaces that cannot be cut from an
edge, such as walls or floors.
WARNING
• Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces.
a. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly clamped
in place.
c. Use the appropriate type and size of blade for
the workpiece material and size.
d. Insert the blade (F) into the tool.
e. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so
that the blade will not impact another surface.
f. Connect the saw to an electrical outlet.
g. Hold the tool firmly, resting the edge of the
base shoe (A) on the workpiece.
h. With the blade just above the workpiece, press
the variable-speed trigger switch (E) to start
the saw and allow it to come to desired cutting
speed.
i. Use the edge of the shoe as a pivot and raise
the gripping handle of the tool slowly, plunging
the blade into the workpiece until the shoe
rests firmly on the workpiece.
j. After the blade has penetrated through the
workpiece and the shoe is resting on the
workpiece, continue sawing along the marked
cutting line.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock
and property damage, always check the work
area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or
water pipes when making blind or plunge cuts.
• To avoid loss of control and serious injury, make
sure that the blade reaches maximum speed
before touching it to the workpiece.
