CAUTION: Delay the feed speed when cutting
the material into small circular arcs.
An unreasonably fast feed may break
the blade.
5. Plunge cutting
With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on
plywood panels and thin board materials. You can
carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw
blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 24, Fig.
26, and Fig. 28. Use the saw blade that is as short and
thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose
that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in
Page 26. Be sure to use caution during the cutting
operation and observe the following procedures.
(1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base
against the material. Pull the switch trigger while
keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the
material. (Fig. 23, Fig. 24)
(2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw
blade little by little. (Fig. 25, Fig. 26)
(3) Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely
cuts into the material. (Fig. 27, Fig. 28)
CAUTION:
⅜ Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This
can easily damage the blade.
⅜ Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the
saw blade tip is pressed against the material. If
you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when
it collides with the material.
⅜ Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while
holding the body firmly. If you apply any
unreasonable force to the saw blade during the
cutting operation, the blade can easily be
damaged.
