cutouts

Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.

A)Boring a starting hole:

For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from and edge, pre-drill starting hole more than 12 mm (15/32") in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole and hold the tool firmly against the workpiece to start your cut.

\

B)Plung cutting :

You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows:

1. Tilt the tool up o n the front edge of

the base, with the blade point posi- tioned just above the workpiece sur-

face.

2.Apply firm pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.

3.As the blade slices into the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.

4.Complete the cut in the normal manner.
