CAUTION
:

see
that the trigger switch actuates properly

workpiece. Then rest the base flat on the
workpiece and gently move the tool for-

line.
Plunge cutting
.Starting
a
cut

other than the edge of
the workpiece without first drilling a
starting hole requires a "plunge cut". This
can be accomplished by tipping the tool
forward until the front end
of
the base
rests against the workpiece. Switch the
tool
on
and lower the back end of the
tool slowly, gradually allowing the blade
to saw through the wood until the base
is able to s i t flat on the workpiece. You
may then proceed forward with the cut in
a normal manner.

If using
a
drill for
a

a hole over 12 mm (1/2") in diameter.
Then insert the blade in
it
and proceed.
