CAUTION: Use the lever (A), Fig. 14, provided on the telescoping
guard when you have to retract the telescoping guard manually.
POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING)
A pocket cut is one which must be made inside the area of the material and
not starting from the edge. Mark the area clearly with lines on all sides. Start
near the corner of one side and place front edge of saw base firmly on the
work. Hold saw up so blade clears the material. Be sure you have adjusted the
blade properly for depth of cut. Push the telescoping guard lever all the way
back so the blade is exposed as shown in Fig. 17. Start the motor and lower
the blade into the work. After the blade has cut through, and the base rests
flat on the work, follow the line right up to the corner. Use a keyhole or bayonet
saw to cut the corners out clean.
CAUTION: When making pocket cuts in stone, tile, etc., using the dry
diamond blade, exercise extreme care to prevent twisting to reduce
the possibility of blade damage.
