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.

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 blade to saw through the workpiece until the base is able to s i t flat on the workpiece. You may then pro- ceed forward 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 insert the blade in it and proceed.
