the blade up with the cutting line. Before the blade
pull the trigger. Then guide the tool along the cutting
to avoid excessive vibration.
Cutting Metals
Begin cutting at a slow speed, gradually increasing
speed during the cut. When cutting into metals or
hard materials that can not be cut from an edge, drill
a starting hole larger than the widest part of the blade.

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
workpiece. Then guide the tool along the cutting
line to acquire the desired cut.

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

TM
reciprocating saws are
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").
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
