6.Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately
2 seconds) before you begin to cut into the workpiece.
7.Slowly lower the saw into the workpiece, using the front of the base resting on the workpiece as a hinge point.
WARNING. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material, release the lower blade guard lever (23).
8.Once the base plate (12) is flat against the workpiece, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut.
9.After completing your cut, release the trigger switch (2) and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the blade is moving.
Note. If the corners of your plunge cut are not completely cut through, use a jigsaw or hack saw (with a masonry cutting blade) to finish the corners.
