Drywall & backerboard:
• The plunge saw is only recommended for making occasional pocket cuts in drywall and always us it with a
suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor connected. The dust can prevent the guard operating correctly.
• Conventional tools such as keyhole saws or knives generally give excellent results, though the plunge saw
can be used if a particularly neat, dust free cut is required or if there is a danger of cutting pipes or cables.
CUTTING WITH THE MITER BASE (FIG 15)
A Miter Base is included to make accurate miter cuts.
• Position the miter angle scale and base. Set the desired miter
angle. Adjust the extendable fence to support the workpiece.
Place the miter base on a flat surface.
• Draw a desired cutting line on the workpiece.
• Insert the workpiece in the miter base. The reference edge
needs to be tight against the miter fence.
• Choose the correct saw blade for the material to be cut and
change to it. Set the blade cutting depth (See "Setting the
Cutting Depth" section) to the maximum 1-1/8". Place the
saw on the miter base guide rails.
• Turn on the laser. Adjust the workpiece to make sure the laser aligns with the desired the cutting line. Secure
the workpiece in place with the clamp.
• Switch on the tool and wait for a moment for the blade to run up to speed. Plunge the blade into the material
slowly and gently, but firmly. Then push the tool forwards along the guide rails (Never draw the tool backwards).
• Once the finish line has been reached, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from
within the tool.
CUTTING WITH RIP CUTTING TRACK (OPTIONAL) (FIG 16, 17)
An optional Rip Cutting Track System (GAPCS203) is available (not included) to make long accurate straight rip
cuts. To use the tool with the rip cutting track system, follow the steps below.
IMPOrTANT!
The workpiece must have a flat surface. Otherwise the cutting process will not be stable
and will lead to poor cutting accuracy.
• Assemble the tracks.
• Stabilize the track on the workpiece.
• Mount the plunge saw in the track by inserting the edge of the
base plate into the slot on the track.
• Align the indicator line on the base plate to the cutting line
marked on workpiece.
• Secure the track by using the G-Clamps provided with the
track system.
• Plug the tool into a power source. Switch on the tool and wait
for a moment for the blade to run up to speed. Press the plunge
release button, plunge the blade into the material slowly and
gently, but firmly. Then push the tool forward along the track.
(Never draw the tool backwards.)
• Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work
surface before switching off.
• The rubber will be cut off during first cutting. This is normal.
