3.Switch on the device as described above and trim the workpiece using constant pressure.
Plunge sawing:
CAUTION! DANGER OF KICKBACK! Plunge sawing can be used only in soft materials (such as wood etc.).
Follow these steps:
1.Place the sabre saw with the underside of the shoe 5 against the workpiece.
Switch on the device.
2.Tilt the sabre saw forward and plunge the saw blade into the workpiece.
3.Bring the sabre saw vertical and continue saw- ing along the cutting line.
Note: The saw blade used for this should not be longer than 150 mm!
