FLUSH-TO CUTTING (FIGURE M)
The compact design of the saw motor permits close cutting to
floors, corners and other difficult areas. The blade can be
installed upside-down to assist in flush-to cutting.
POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIGURE N)
WARNING: Shock hazard. Exercise extreme caution
when blind cutting to ensure that there are no foreign
objects such as electrical wire, conduit, plumbing pipes,
etc., that may come in contact with the blade.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to pocket/plunge cut metal.
• The initial step in pocket/plunge cutting is to measure
the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber.
• Use the appropriate blade for the application. The blade
should extend past the shoe and the thickness of the
workpiece during the cut.
• Insert blade in blade clamp.
• Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the
shoe is resting on the work surface and the blade clears
the work surface.
• Depress trigger switch to turn motor on, always
permitting blade to attain maximum speed.
• Grip saw steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin to
feed into material.
• Always be sure blade is completely through material
before continuing with pocket/plunge cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the
edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given
cut should be extended beyond edge of cut to be
made.
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE O)
• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
blade for non-ferrous materials.
• In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp
wood to both sides of sheet. This will insure a
clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of
metal.
• Always remember not to force cutting blade as
this reduces blade life and causes costly blade
breakage.
• Start the cut on the surface where the greatest number of teeth will contact the
workpiece.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin
film of oil or other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and
longer blade life.

PROJECT TIPS
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting against the workpiece. This will
improve operator control and minimize vibration.
