CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHTEDGE (g18)
1. Mark the cutting line. Position the
straightedge parallel to the cutting
line, at the same distance as between
the blade and the side edge of the saw
base.
2. Mark the side edge of the saw base,
and then clamp the straightedge on
the mark, parallel to the cut.
3. As you cut, keep the edge of the saw
base flush against the straightedge and
flat on the workpiece.
PLUNGE CUTTING (g19)
Plunge cutting is useful and timesaving
for making rough openings in soft
materials. It makes it unnecessary to drill
a hole for an inside or pocket cut.
1. Draw lines for the opening you want to
cut.
2. Hold the saw firmly, and tilt it forward
so that the toe of the saw foot rests on
the workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is well clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the blade into the workpiece, firmly
holding the toe of the saw base in order to prevent side wobble.
5. Slowly pivot the saw downward, as if on a hinge, until the blade cuts through
and the base rests flat on the workpiece.
6. Begin sawing along the cutting line in the usual manner.
MAKING SHARP CORNERS
1. Cut up to the corner, and then back up slightly before rounding the corner.
2. After the opening is complete, go back to each corner and cut it from the
opposite direction in order to square it off.
WARNING!
• To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching accessories.
• Do not let familiarity with your saw make you careless. Remember
that a fraction of a second of carelessness is sufficient to cause
severe injury.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses when operating this
tool.
