PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or dam-
age to the material being cut, always use extreme
caution when making plunge cuts. It is not rec-
ommended to plunge cut materials other than
wood.
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Tilt the saw forward so that it rests on the front edge
of the shoe and blade will not come in contact with the
workpiece when the saw is turned on.
Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.
Using high speed, start the saw and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through the
wood.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
shoe rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw
forward to complete the opening.
Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.

GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 10.
Rest the front of the base (shoe) assembly on the workpiece
and align cutting edge of the blade with the line on the
workpiece.
Start the saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply
downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough
forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.
CAUTION:
Do not force the saw. Forcing the saw may
overheat the motor and break saw blades.
