WARNING! Do not allow fa-
miliarity with the saw to make you
careless. One careless fraction of
asecond is enough to inflict serious
injury.
NOTE: Cutting speeds should
vary with the workpiece. Hard
materials, such as metals, require
lower speeds; for softer materials
use higher speeds.
PLUNGE CUTTING (Fig. 7)
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.
1. Insert the blade into the tool with
the teeth facing downward, and
hold the tool as shown, resting the
edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
2. With the blade just above the
workpiece, depress the trigger
switch, and using the edge of the
shoe as a pivot, lower the blade
into the workpiece.
3. As the blade starts cutting,
raise the handle of the tool slowly
until the shoe rests firmly on the
workpiece.
4. After the blade has penetrated
through the workpiece, guide the saw
along the marked cutting line.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of explosion, electric shock and property dam-
age, always check the work area for hidden gas pipes, electrical wires or water
pipes when making blind or plunge cut.
WARNING! To avoid loss of control and serious injury, make sure that the
blade reaches maximum speed before touching it to the workpiece.
