PLUNGE CUTS
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making adjustments. Set depth
adjustment according to material to be cut.
Reconnect the plug to power source.
Hold the main handle of the saw with one
hand, tilt saw forward and rest front of the foot
plate on material to be cut. Line up the cutting
guide notch with the line you've drawn. Raise
the lower guard using lower guard lift lever
and hold the front of the foot plate with the
other hand. (Fig. 9).
Position the saw with the blade just clearing

wood have a ten den cy to tear and lift. Advancing
the saw slowly minimizes this effect. For a
finished cut, a cross cut blade or miter blade is
rec om mended.
