BASIC RECIPROCATING SAW OPERATION

9.3 PLUNGE CUTTING - FIGS. 6 - 7

WARNING: Plunge cutting is only suitable when

working softer materials such as wood or plaster

board! However, this requires a degree of practice

and is only possible with short saw blades.

Place the tool via the pivoting footplate onto

the work piece and switch on. Pay attention

that the bottom side of the pivoting footplate

faces against the surface of the work piece.

Slowly plunge the saw blade into the work

piece at an angle. After the saw blade

penetrates through the work piece, move the

tool to a vertical position and continue to saw

along the cutting line.

Switch off the tool and remove it from the

work piece.

Plunge cuts can be carried out easier when the

saw blade is installed 180° reversed and by

guiding the saw the other way around (Fig.7).

9.4 FLUSH CUTTING - FIG. 8

With the use of flexible bimetal saw blades,

projecting items (i.e. water pipes, etc.) can be

sawn off flush to the wall. Pay attention that the

saw blade always extends beyond the diameter of

the pipe being sawn. Danger of kickback.

Position the saw blade side wards against the wall

and apply some lateral pressure via the tool so

that the edge of the pivoting footplate 2 faces

against the wall. Switch the tool on and make the

cut, applying constant lateral pressure.
