NOTES:
To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy
gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth
facing upward, and hold the saw upside down
as shown (Fig. 9).
Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces.
In thick materials and in harder materials,
such as metal, plunge cutting should not be
attempted. Such materials can be cut with the
recip saw only by starting the cut from the
edge of the material or from a hole drilled all
the way through the material that is large
enough to fit the saw blade.
The use of any accessories
not specified in this manual
may create a hazard.
