9.3  PLUNGE CUTTING - FIGS. 6 - 7

WARNING: Plunge cutting is only suitable when 
working softer materials such as wood or plaster 
board! However, this requires a degree of practice 
and is only possible with short saw blades.
- 

Place the tool via the pivoting footplate onto 
the work piece and switch on. Pay attention 
that the bottom side of the pivoting footplate 
faces against the surface of the work piece.

- 

Slowly plunge the saw blade into the work 
piece at an angle. After the saw blade 
penetrates through the work piece, move the 
tool to a vertical position and continue to saw 
along the cutting line.

- 

Switch off the tool and remove it from the 
work piece.

9.4  FLUSH CUTTING - FIG. 8

With the use of flexible bimetal saw blades, 
projecting items (i.e. water pipes, etc.) can be 
sawed off flush to the wall. Pay attention that the 
saw blade always extends beyond the diameter of 
the pipe being sawed. Danger of kickback.
Position the saw blade sidewards against the wall 
and apply some lateral pressure via the tool so 
that the edge of the pivoting footplate faces 
against the wall. Switch the tool on and make the 
cut, applying constant lateral pressure.
