GENERAL CUTTING – cont’d
3. Make sure there are no nails, screws,
clamps or foreign materials in the path
of the saw blade.
4. Hold the saw away from your body
and in front of you (Fig. 8).
5. With both hands firmly gripping the
saw, and with the blade NOT in
contact with the surface to be cut,
start the saw by pressing the lock-off
button and squeezing the trigger
switch.
6. Once the saw has reached the
desired speed, place the adjustable
pivoting shoe against the workpiece
and gradually bring the moving blade
into contact with the workpiece at the
appropriate location.
CAUTION: Do not force the saw.
Use only enough force to keep the
blade cutting. Excessive pressure on
the blade will cause it to bend and twist,
which may result in breaking the blade.
PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate
the position of the cut.
2. Clamp the workpiece to a workbench
or table (Fig. 9).
NOTE: Make sure the area to be cut is
clear under the workpiece so that the
blade will not come into contact with
anything other than the workpiece.
3. Select a convenient starting point in
the area to be cut out. Place the tip of
the blade over that point.
