OPERATION
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figures 17 - 18.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage
to the material being cut, always use extreme
caution when making plunge cuts. We do not
recommend plunge cutting on materials other
than wood.
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
� Set the cutting angle at 0° and the orbital adjustment
knob to 0.
� Drill a pilot hole though any point on the line of cut.
� Using high speed, start the saw and slowly lower the
blade through the pilot hole into the workpiece until the
blade cuts through the wood.
Do not move the base forward until the blade cuts entirely
through the workpiece and the base is in complete
contact with the workpiece.
� Move the saw forward to complete the opening.
� Use only the seven teeth per inch blade for this type of
cut.
