A) Boring a starting hole:
013887
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
•
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm (1/2") or more
in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start
your cut.
B) Plunge cutting:
013936
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-
•
in cut if you carefully do as follows.
1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with
the blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface.
2. Apply 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 pierces the workpiece, slowly lower
the base of the tool down onto the workpiece
surface.
4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.
