Plunge cutting
The sabre saw can also be used for plunge cutting:
- Wood, plywood, wall boards and plastic material.
- Mark clearly line of cut on the work piece.
- Place the tip of the saw blade on the cutting point, while resting the saw on the lower edge of
the support shoe.
- Start the saw and plunge the saw blade in the material while cutting carefully (see fig. 7).
- Press the support shoe against the material to be cut.
Notice: Do not use plunge cutting for metal sheet.
Sawing metal
When cutting angle iron, H-beam, I-beam, tubes, pipes etc., start the cut on the surface
where the greatest number of teeth will contact the work.
Useful tips: Select thoroughly the length of the saw blade (see fig. 8 and 9) (Length of blade
(free hand cutting) = max. section + 30 mm.)
Procedure for handheld cutting
For straight or curved cutting, place the support shoe on the work piece and start the saw.
Use only sharp and faultless blades. Take care to cut at a uniform feeding speed. This will
reduce the risk of accidents and wear on blade and saw. Always keep the connecting line (air
hose) towards the rear of the saw.
