Sawing methods
A) Working without the grip bracket (see fig. E):

For branches of a larger diameter or wood,
plastic or building material, work without the
grip bracket. The workpiece must be right up
against the base plate. Use a rocking cutting
motion for round workpieces.

■
Flexible saw blades allow you to saw off pro-
truding workpieces such as pipes located close
to the wall, provided the saw blade is long
enough.
1. Place the saw blade directly against the wall.
2. Bend it by applying lateral pressure to the recip-
rocating saw so that the base plate
into contact with the wall.
3. Switch the appliance on as described and saw
off the workpiece by applying constant pressure.
A2) Plunge cutting (see fig. F):
CAUTION! RISK OF KICKBACK!
►
Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materials
(wood or similar).
1. Place the reciprocating saw with the lower edge
of the base plate
the appliance on.
2. Tilt the reciprocating saw forwards and plunge
the saw blade into the workpiece.
3. Position the reciprocating saw vertically and
continue sawing along the cutting line.
