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 BI-METAL Blade No. 132

mentioned in Table 2. Be sure to use caution during

the cutting operation and observe the following

procedures.

(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

⅜ Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can

easily damage the blade.

⅜ 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.

⅜ 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.

5. Cut off guide for cutting pipe (optional accessory)

NOTE

Please refer to the cut off guide user’s manual for

details on how to use ti correctly.

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

⅜ 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.

Table 1: HCS blades

2. Selection of BI-METAL blades
