PLUNGE CUTS
The variable angle reciprocating saw can be used for plunge cutting wood, plywood, wallboard, and plastic materials.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLUNGE CUT METAL.
Clearly mark line of cut on the work. Grasp front housing with one hand and rear handle with the other hand. Choose a convenient starting point inside the line of cut in waste material area. To start cut, rest saw on pivoting guide shoe bracket, align blade with the starting point, (blade NOT touching work), as shown in Fig. 16. Start saw. Using bracket as a pivot point, roll saw forward by raising rear handle, as shown in Fig. 17. When blade has cut through the work, continue raising the rear handle until saw is perpendicular to the work and guide shoe is fully seated on the work surface. Keep saw in this position and move blade along line of cut.
