PLUNGE CUTS

Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth adjust-
ment according to material to be cut. Tilt saw
forward with cutting guide notch lined up with
the line you've drawn. Raise the lower guard,
using lift lever and hold the saw by the front and
rear handles (Fig. 8).

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.
