Supplemental Owner’s Manual 9
Installing the Plunge Base
The plunge base provides a guided cut perpendicular to the
workpiece surface for a more accurate and ner cut than is
obtainable freehand. The shoe of the plunge base contains a
strong magnet to help guide the blade by holding it near the
edge of the base.
NOTE: It is not recommended to make conned
plunges with blades having Japan-style teeth, as the
teeth may be prone to breaking, and the narrow kerf
can tend to bind. They can be used, but the blade life
may be shorter than desired.
Japanese-Style Teeth
