You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut
if you carefully do as follows.
1.
Touch the front edge of the base to the workpiece,
and tilt the tool with the jig saw blade point positioned
just above the workpiece surface.
2.
Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
the base will not move when you switch on the tool and
gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3.
As the jig saw blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece
surface.
4.
Complete the cut in the normal manner.
