Plunge Cutting
Plunge cut into plywood and thin board panels. Do not attempt to plunge cut into thick, hard wood or metal panels.
1.Clearly mark the line of cut.
2.From a convenient starting point within the cutting area, place the tip of the Blade over that point with the Saw parallel to the line of cut.
3.Place the edge of the Pivot Shoe on the work piece with the Blade NOT touching the work material. Squeeze the Trigger to start the tool operating. Never start a plunge cut with the Blade tip touching the work piece. This will cause an immediate kick back, that can damage the work piece, blade or cause injury.
