Plunge Cutting
Your
MILWAUKEE
Hackzall
®
is ideal for plunge cut-
ting directly into surfaces that can not be cut from
an edge, such as walls or
fl oors. Do not plunge cut
into metal surfaces (see
"Cutting Metals").
1. Insert the blade into
the tool with the teeth
facing down. Hold the
tool as shown, resting
the edge of the shoe on
the workpiece.
2. With the blade just
above the workpiece,
pull the trigger. Using
the edge of the shoe as
a pivot, lower the blade
into the workpiece as
shown.
3. As the blade starts cut-
ting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the
shoe rests fi rmly on the
workpiece. Then guide
the tool along your cut-
ting line to acquire the
desired cut.
