Plunge Cutting

Note: Plunge cutting is not suitable for metals and ceramics or materials with

similar densities or very smooth surfaces.

A plunge cut can be used to make an inset cut when it is not possible to cut

from the edge of a workpiece. This requires careful control to tilt the saw very

slowly.

1. Fit the correct blade for the material with the orientation of the teeth

downwards so there is the maximum Shoe (1) length next to the teeth of

the blade

2. Use the Shoe as the hinge/tilt point as shown in Fig F

3. Keep the blade off the workpiece long enough to allow for the 12.2mm

stroke of the reciprocating action then press the Trigger (6) to operate

4. Carefully and slowly tilt the saw to allow the blade to start cutting into

the surface, keeping a ﬁrm grip of the saw as shown in Fig G until full

breakthrough is achieved

Notes:

• Use the same plunge technique when re-entering the same inset cut slot

until a section of material has been removed that allows entry from the

edge of the material within the inset cut

• If the technique is unsuccessful, due to the blade or hardness of the

material, a more conventional method will be required for an inset cut

as used for metal. Drill a hole or multiple connected holes wider than the

blade and start the cut from the drilled hole

Cutting metal

WARNING: Cutting metal can generate high temperatures for the blade, saw

and the material

The reciprocating saw can cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,

aluminium, brass and copper

• Clamp the workpiece ﬁrmly where possible and cut close to the clamping

point to minimise vibration

• Use a metal-cutting blade, preferably uni-directional unless the workpiece

is securely clamped

• Be careful not to bend or twist the blade and do not force the cutting action

• Use cutting oil to lubricate the cut when sawing soft metals and steel. This

cools the blade and prolongs blade life

• Clamp the workpiece in a vice if possible and cut close to the vice when

cutting conduit pipe or angle iron

• To cut very thin sheet metal, sandwich the sheet between hardboard or

plywood and clamp the layers to prevent vibration and tearing of the metal

not know of a li-ion battery recycling centre in your area, contact your local

authority or original dealer for advice on disposal of li-ion batteries
