5. With both hands firmly gripping the saw, and with the blade NOT in contact with the surface to be cut,
start the saw by squeezing the switch trigger.
6. Once the saw has reached the desired speed, place the adjustable pivoting shoe against the workpiece
and gradually bring the moving blade into contact with the workpiece at the appropriate location.
CAUTION: Do not force the saw. Use only enough force to keep the blade cutting. Excessive pressure on
the blade will cause it to bend and twist, which may result in breaking the blade.
PLUNGE CUTTING
1.
Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the position of the cut.
2.
Clamp the workpiece to a workbench or table (Fig. 5).
NOTE: Make sure the area to be cut is clear under the workpiece so that the blade will not come into contact
with anything other than the workpiece.
3.
Select a convenient starting point in the area to be cut out. Place the tip of the blade over that point.
4.
Rest the lower edge of the adjustable pivoting shoe on the workpiece and hold it firmly in that position,
maintaining a shallow cutting angle.
5.
Squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw.
WARNING: Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the saw reaches full speed. Loss of
control and possible injury could result.
6.
With the saw running at full speed, slowly tilt the saw until the tip of the blade contacts the workpiece and
begins to cut. After the blade cuts through the workpiece, tilt the saw upward until the blade is
perpendicular to the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can be cut with your reciprocating
saw (Fig. 6).
• To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers
to limit vibration and material tearing.
• Always use a fine toothed metal cutting blade and run the saw at medium speeds when cutting metal.
