Sawing methods
A) Working without the grip bracket
(see fig. D)
■
For branches of a larger diameter or wood,
plastic or building material, work without the
grip bracket . The workpiece must be right
up against the base plate. Use a rocking cutting
motion for round workpieces.
A1) Sawing flush
■
Flexible saw blades allow you to saw off pro-
truding workpieces such as pipes located close
to the wall, provided the saw blade is long
enough.
1. Place the saw blade directly against the wall.
2. Bend it by applying lateral pressure to the recip-
rocating saw so that the base plate comes
into contact with the wall.
3. Switch the appliance on as described and saw
off the workpiece by applying constant pressure.
