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..
