Plunge Cutting

B
NOTE:
To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade and install the blade with the teeth facing
upward as shown in Column B.
1. Insert the blade into the tool.
If blade is inserted with the teeth facing downward,
hold the tool as shown in Column A, resting the
edge of the shoe on the workpiece.
If blade is inserted with the teeth facing upward,
hold the tool as shown in Column B, 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 cutting, raise the handle of
the tool slowly until the shoe rests firmly on the
workpiece. Then guide the tool along the cutting
line to acquire the desired cut.
The electric brake engages when the trigger is
released, causing the blade to stop. Generally, the
saw blade stops within two seconds. However,
there may be a delay between the time the trigger
is released and when the brake engages.
Occasionally the brake may miss completely. If the
brake misses frequently, the saw needs servicing
by an authorised
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility.
Always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.
For straight or contour cutting from an edge, line
the blade up with the cutting line. Before the blade
contacts the workpiece, grasp the handle firmly and
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along the cutting
line. Always hold the shoe flat against the
workpiece to avoid excessive vibration.
When working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection.
Always remove battery pack before changing or
removing accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
NOTE:
A LED is turned on when the trigger is
pulled.

reciprocating saw is ideal
for plunge cutting directly into surfaces that can not
be cut from an edge, such as walls or floors. Plunge
cutting may be done two ways depending on how
the blade is inserted. Column A shows how to plunge
cut with the teeth of the blade facing downward.
Column B shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of
the blade facing upward. Do not plunge cut into
metal surfaces (see "Cutting Metals".)
