PLUNGE CUTS (FIG. 13)
Set the depth adjustment according to the
thickness of the material to be cut. Attach the
battery pack.
Hold the main handle of the saw with one
hand, tilt the saw forward, and rest the front
of the foot plate on the material to be cut.
Allign the cutting-guide notch with the line
you've drawn. Use the lower-guard lift lever
to raise the lower guard until you are able
to grasp and hold the removable auxiliary
handle with the other hand (Fig. 13).
Position the saw so that the blade is just
clearing the material to be cut. Start the saw
and, once it is fully up to speed, use the front
edge of the foot as a hinge point to gradually
lower the back end of saw.
Once the foot plate rests flat on the surface
being cut, release the lower-guard lift lever.
Proceed cutting in the forward direction to the
end of cut.
WARNING
before lifting the saw from the cut. Also,
CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
(FIG. 14 AND FIG 15)
Large sheets and long boards can sag or
bend, depending on support. If you attempt to
cut without leveling and properly supporting
the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
KICKBACK and extra load on the motor
(Fig. 14).
Support the panel or board close to the cut,
as shown in (Fig. 15). Be sure to set the
depth of the cut so that you cut through the
sheet or board only and not the table or work
bench that is supporting it. The two-by-fours
used to raise and support the work should be
positioned so that the wide sides support the
work and rest on the table or bench. Do not
support the work with the narrow sides, as this
is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or
board to be cut is too large for a table or work
bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floor and secure.
Allow the blade to come
to a complete stop
Fig. 13
Line Guide Foot
never pull the saw backward, since the
blade will climb out of the material and
KICKBACK will occur.
Turn the saw around and finish the cut
in the normal manner, sawing forward.
If corners of your plunge cut are not
completely cut through, use a jigsaw
or hand saw to finish the corners.
