12 6.0 AMP RECIPROCATING SAW
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: When sawing berglass, plaster, wallboard, or spackling compound, clean the
motor vents frequently with a vacuum or with compressed air. These materials are
highly abrasive and may accelerate the wear on motor bearings and brushes.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during
power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with the saw to make you careless. One careless
fraction of a second is enough to inict serious injury.
7. Plunge Cutting
Your reciprocating saw is ideal for plunge cutting directly into surfaces that cannot be cut
from an edge, such as in walls or oors. Plunge cutting may be done two ways, depending
on how the blade is inserted.
Figure 7a shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing down. Figure 7b
shows how to plunge cut with the teeth of the blade facing up.
