Operation
Turn the tool on before contacting the workpiece. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool for - ward along the previously marked cutting line.
Plunge cutting
Starting a cut a t other than the edge of the workpiece without first drilling a starting hole requires a “plunge cut”. This can be accomplished by tipping the tool forward until the front end of the base rests against the workpiece. Switch the tool on and lower the back end of the tool slowly, gradually allowing the balde to saw through the wood until the base is able to sit flat on the workpiece. You may then proceed for- ward with the cut in a normal manner.
If using a drill for a starting hole, bore a hole over 12 mm (1/2”) in diameter. Then I insert the blade in it and proceed.
Front flush cuts
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench, then slide the base backwards. Check the contact between the back edge of the blade and the roller, then secure the bolt.
