Plunge Cutting (Fig. 12)
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 two ways, depending on how
the blade is inserted.
Figure 12, A shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing down.
Figure 12, B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing up.

WARNING
a. Depress the lock-off button to 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. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make sure that the blade will extend beyond the shoe
and through the workpiece at all times.
e. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to expose unworn blade teeth for longer blade life.
f. Check for clearance behind the workpiece so that the blade will not contact another surface.
g. Mark the line of cut clearly.
h. Attach the battery pack to the reciprocating saw.
