PLUNGE CUTS

Disconnect plug from power source before
making ad justments. Set depth adjustment
according to material to be cut.
Hold the main handle of the saw with one
hand, tilt saw forward and rest the front of the
foot plate on material to be cut. Line up the
cutting guide notch with the line you've drawn.
With your second hand on the auxiliary han-
dle, raise the lower guard using lower guard lift
lever. (Fig. 10).
Position the saw with the blade just clearing
the material to be cut. Start the motor and
once fully up to speed, gradually lower the
back end of saw using the front end of the foot
as the hinge point.

saw backward since blade will climb out of
the material and KICKBACK will occur.
Turn saw around and finish the cut in the nor-
mal manner, sawing forward. If corners of your
plunge cut are not completely cut through, use
a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
