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. 8).

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. 9).

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.
