PLUNGE CUTTING (fig 5)
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge cutting directly into surfaces that cannot
be cut from an edge, such as walls or floors. Plunge cutting may be done two ways,
depending on how the blade is installed.
Column A shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing down.
Column B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing up.

1. Disconnect the saw from the power supply.
2. Make sure that the workpiece is firmly anchored; clamp the workpiece to keep
it from slipping or moving while cutting.
3. Use the appropriate type and size of blade for the workpiece material and size.
4. Install the blade into the tool.
5. Adjust the pivot shoe as necessary to make sure that the blade will extend
beyond the shoe and through the workpiece at all times.
6. Adjust the pivoting shoe as necessary to expose unworn blade teeth for
longer blade life.
