Pocket Cutting
Pocket cuts are made in the middle of the work-
piece when it can not be cut from an edge. We rec-
ommend using a Sawzall ® reciprocating saw or jig
saw for this type of cut. However, if you must use a
circular saw to make a pocket cut, USE EXTREME
CAUTION. To maintain control of the saw during
pocket cutting, keep both hands on the saw.
Warning
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before making pocket cuts.

1. Beginning at a corner, line up the sight line with
your cutting line. Tilt the saw forward, firmly fixing
the front of the shoe on the workpiece. The blade
should be just above cutting line, but not touching it.
Raise the lower guard using the lower guard lever.
2. To start the saw, push the lock-off button down
while pulling the trigger. Allow the motor to reach
full speed before beginning cut. Using the front
of the shoe as a hinge point, gradually lower the
back end of the saw into the workpiece. Release
the lower guard lever and grasp the front handle.
3. When the shoe rests flat against workpiece,
advance the saw to the far corner. Release the
trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete
stop before removing it from workpiece. Repeat
the above steps for each side of the opening.
Use a Sawzall ® reciprocating saw, jig saw or
small hand saw to finish the corners if they are
not completely cut through.
