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. 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.
Once the foot plate rests flat on the surface
being cut, release the lower guard and move
the hand holding the front of the foot plate to
hold the auxiliary handle. Proceed cutting in
forward direction to end of cut.
Allow blade to come to a

CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-
BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 10).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as
shown in (Fig. 11). Be sure to set the depth of
the cut so that you cut through the sheet or

a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
board only and not the table or work bench. The
two-by-fours used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest sides
support the work and rest on the table or bench.
Do not support the work with the narrow sides
as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet
or board to be cut is too large for a table or work
bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floor and secure.
