WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
do not start the tool with the blade contacting
the workpiece.
Making the Cut
1. Set the orbital action according the material to
be cut.
2. Position the tool with the front part of the shoe
on the workpiece and start the tool.
3. Hold the shoe fi rmly against the workpiece and
guide the tool along the desired cutting line. Do
not feed into the work too hard, light pressure
on the saw blade will achieve the optimum
cutting speed.
Special Cutting Techniques
1. Straight cuts — To obtain a perfectly straight
cut, clamp a strip of wood as a guide along the
workpiece or use the rip guide (accessory).
2. Bevel cuts — adjust the shoe to the correct
angle (see Adjusting the Shoe).
3. Cutting Sheet Metal — sheet metal may vibrate
when being cut. To minimize vibration clamp,
the workpiece to a wood base.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of explo-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden gas
pipes, electrical wires or water pipes when
making blind or plunge cuts.
Plunge Cutting
Plunge cuts can be made into soft materials without
a pre-drilled hole. Harder materials require a starter
hole with a diameter slightly over the width of the
blade. To make a plunge cut:
1. Set the orbital action

selector lever to 0.
2. Make sure nothing be-
low the intended cut
area will be damaged.
3. Without turning the tool
on, place the front edge
of the shoe solidly on
workpiece (Fig. 5).

4. Align the blade with
the intended cut line,
but keep it above the
workpiece.
5. Using the front edge of
the shoe as a pivot, turn
on the tool and gradu-
ally lower the blade into

the workpiece (Fig. 6).
6. When the shoe is fl at
against the workpiece,
normal cutting may
take place (Fig. 7).
