OPERATION
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figures 17 - 18.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage |
| |
to the material being cut, always use extreme |
| |
caution when making plunge cuts. We do not |
| |
recommend plunge cutting on materials other | PILOT HOLE | |
than wood. | ||
|
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
� Set the cutting angle at 0° and the orbital adjustment
knob to 0. | Fig. 17 | |
� Drill a pilot hole though any point on the line of cut. | ||
| ||
� Using high speed, start the saw and slowly lower the |
| |
blade through the pilot hole into the workpiece until the | PILOT HOLE | |
blade cuts through the wood. |
Do not move the base forward until the blade cuts entirely through the workpiece and the base is in complete contact with the workpiece.
� Move the saw forward to complete the opening.
� Use only the seven teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.
