PLUNGE SAWING (See Fig. J, K)
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.
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.
