POCKET CUTS (PLUNGE CUTTING)
A pocket cut is one which must be made inside |
|
the area of the workpiece and not starting from |
|
the edge. Mark the area clearly with lines on all |
|
sides. Start near the corner of one side and |
|
place the front edge of the saw base firmly on |
|
the workpiece. Hold the saw up so that the |
|
blade clears the material. Confirm that you have |
|
adjusted the blade properly for the depth of cut. |
|
Push the telescoping guard lever all the way | Fig. 21 |
back so the blade is exposed (Fig. 21). |
Keep your hands and fingers away from the blade.
Start the motor and lower the blade into the work. After the blade has cut through, and the base rests flat on the work, follow the line to the corner.
Let the saw come to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.
Use a keyhole or bayonet saw to cut clean corners.
