• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.

Hints for optimum use
• As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side
of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side
where splintering is acceptable.
• Where splintering is to be minimized, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. K)
Pocket cutting is used to cut a hole in a piece of material
without cutting from the side.
