CAUTION: Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.

5.Plunge cutting

With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on plywood panels and thin board materials. You can carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 23, Fig. 25, and Fig. 27. Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in Page 26. Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation and observe the following procedures.

(1)Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base against the material. Pull the switch trigger while keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material. (Fig. 22, Fig. 23)

(2)Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade little by little. (Fig. 24, Fig. 25)

(3)Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely cuts into the material. (Fig. 26, Fig. 27)

CAUTION:

Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.

Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade is pressed against the material. If you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the material.

Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding the body firmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.
