Figure 6

7. 

To plug-cut into a workpiece that hasn’t 

been pre-drilled, rest the rear of the 

base on the workpiece with the blade 
not touching the surface.  Start the tool 
and very slowly lower the blade into the 
workpiece until the saw sits level.  Then 
move the tool forward to cut.  Hold Saw 

firmly and beware of kickback.  

 

See Figure 6.

Figure 7

8. 

When cutting metal, use a nail and score 
the cutting line prior to cutting so that 
the blade will stay on a straight course.  
Metal heats up quickly when cutting due 
to blade friction.  To avoid ruining your 
blade and insure a clean cut, use cutting 
oil (not included) as a cooling agent.  
Apply a few drops where the blade 
meets the workpiece as shown in Figure 
7.  Continue to keep the area lubricated 
throughout the operation.
