CAUTION
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.
4.Plunge cutting
With this tool, you can perform plunge cutting on plywood panels and thin board materials. You can carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 22, Fig. 24, and Fig. 26. Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that you use
(1)Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base against the material. Pull the switch trigger while keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material (Fig. 21, Fig. 22).
(2)Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade little by little (Fig. 23, Fig. 24).
(3)Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely cuts into the material (Fig. 25, Fig. 26).
CAUTION
◯Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.
◯Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade tip is pressed against the material. If you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the material.
◯Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding the body firmly. If you apply any
unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.

SELECTION OF BLADES
To ensure maximum operating efficiency and results, it is very important to select the appropriate blade best suited to the type and thickness of the material to be cut.
NOTE
◯Dimensions of the workpiece mentioned in the table represent the dimensions when the mounting position of the base is set nearest to the body of the reciprocating saw. Caution must be exercised
since dimensions of the workpiece will become smaller if the base is mounted far away from the body of the reciprocating saw.
1.Selection of HCS blades
The blade number of HCS blades in Table 1 is engraved in the vicinity of the mounting position of each blade. Select appropriate blades by referring to Tables 1 and 3 below.
