wallboard, or spackling compound, clean the
motor vents frequently with a vacuum or with
compressed air. These materials are highly
abrasive and may accelerate the wear on motor

and property damage, always check the
work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical
wires or water pipes when making blind or
plunge cuts.
WARNING
sure that the blade reaches the full desired
speed before touching it to the workpiece.
WARNING
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge
cutting directly into surfaces that cannot be cut
from an edge, such as in walls or floors. Plunge
cutting may be done in two ways, depending on
how the blade is inserted.
a. Place the lock-off button in the locked position
and then remove the battery pack from the tool.
b. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly
clamped in place to keep it from slipping or
moving while cutting.
c. Select the appropriate type and size of blade
for the workpiece material and size. Install the
blade onto the tool.
d. Hold the tool firmly, resting the edge of the
pivoting shoe on the workpiece.
e. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so
that the blade will not contact another surface.
f. Mark the line of cut clearly.
g. Attach the battery pack to the reciprocating saw.
h. With the blade just above the workpiece, place
the lock-off button in the unlocked position and
squeeze the variable-speed trigger switch to
start the tool. Allow it to come to the desired
speed. Then, using the edge of the shoe as a
pivot, lower the blade into the workpiece.

i. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly, until the shoe rests firmly and
flat on the workpiece.
j. After the blade has penetrated through the
workpiece, continue sawing along the marked
cutting line.
k. Allow the saw to come to a complete
stop before removing the blade from the
workpiece.
