PLUNGE SAWING

Plunge cutting may be used only 

on soft materials such as wood, 

aerated concrete, gypsum plaster 

boards, etc.!

Use only short saw blades.

Place the front edge of the base 

plate on the workpiece and switch 

on. Press the machine firmly against 

the workpiece and plunge the saw 

blade slowly into the workpiece.

As soon as the complete surface 

of the base plate rests on the work 

piece, continue to saw along the 

cutting line. (See K,L)

METAL CUTTING

Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous 

metals and a coarse tooth blade for 

non-ferrous metals. When cutting 

thin sheet metals always clamp 

wood on both sides of the sheet 

to reduce vibration or tearing of 

the sheet metal. Both wood and 

sheet metal must be cut. Do not 

force the cutting blade when cutting 

thin metal or sheet steel as they 

are harder materials and will take 

longer to cut. Excessive blade force 

may reduce the life of the blade or 

damage the motor. To reduce heat 

during metal cutting, add a little 

lubricant along the cutting line..
