!WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always

extends beyond the footplate and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the front on the blade hits the work and/or the footplate.

4.When cutting metal:

-Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother, faster cutting and longer blade life.

-For non-ferrous metals, aluminum, bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the blade.

-For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use machine or cutting oil along the surface to be cut.

5.When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the material between two pieces of scrap wood. Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of lumber on top of the metal can be used with adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or design on the wood.

6.Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and blade do the work.

POCKET CUTS

POCKET/PLUNGE CUTS

The reciprocating saw can be used to make plunge cuts into softer material, (for example, wood or light building materials for walls), without a starting hole (Fig. 10).

1.Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work.

2.Set the tool with one edge of the footplate firmly against the material.

3.Place the tip of the blade (not running) on the line to be cut.

4.Tilt the saw so that the blade clears the work.

5.Squeeze the trigger switch and carefully engage the moving saw blade into the material.

6.After the blade penetrates through the work, continue sawing along the marked outline.

NOTES:

To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth facing upward, and hold the saw upside down as shown (Fig. 11).

Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces.

In thick materials and in harder materials, such as metal, plunge cutting should not be attempted. Such materials can be cut with the recip saw only by starting the cut from the edge of the material or from a hole drilled all the way through the material that is large enough to fit the saw blade.

!WARNING The use of any accessories not specified in this manual

may create a hazard.
