PLUNGECUI-I'ING
See Figure 9.
Mark the line of cut cleady. Choose a convenient
starting point inside the area to be cut out and place
the tip of the blade over that point. Rest front edge of
base assembly on work and hold firmly in position,
Note: Make sure blade does not touch work until
motor reaches full speed, since this could cause loss
of control resulting in serious injury. With saw blade at
full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward until tip of
blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates work,
tilt saw until blade is perpendicular to the work.
FLUSH CUTTING
See Figure10.
Your saw has been designed with a flush cutting
feature which permits cutting close to floors or walls.
To fit your cutting requirements, cuts may be made in
either direction by reversing the position ofthe blade in
the blade clamp. See page 10 for instructionson
installing Flush Cutting Blade.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 11.
Fig. 11
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum,
brass, and copper may be cut with your saw. Be
careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not
force. We recommend cutting oil when cutting most
soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades
cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor
could ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut
close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of
the work being cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle
iron, clamp work in a vise ifpossible and cut close to
the vise. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich"the
matedal between hardboard or plywood and clamp the
layers to eliminate vibration and matedal tearing.
POWER CORD
See Figure 12.
MOLDEDCORDCLIP
POWERCORD

Fig. 12
Your electronic reciprocating saw has an extra-long
power cord that stays soft and flexible in cold weather.
The plug design is shaped so that it won't snag on
your work during use. A molded cord clip on the plug
makes cord storage easier.
