Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole

For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm (1/2") or more in diameter.
Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut.

B) Plunge cutting
002761
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if
you carefully do as follows.
(1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the
blade point positioned just above the workpiece sur-
face.
(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 blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the
base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.
