Pocket Cutting
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before
making pocket cuts.
Pocket cuts are made
in the middle of the work piece when
it can't be cut from an edge. 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. Refer to Fig.6
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 work piece. The blade should be just above
cutting line, but not touching it. Raise the (B) lower guard
using the lower guard lever (A).
2. Pull the trigger and 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 work piece. Release the lower
guard lever (A).
3. When the shoe rests flat against work piece, advance the saw to the far corner. Release the trigger
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing it from work piece. Repeat the above
steps for each side of the opening.
Use a small hand saw to finish the corners if they are not completely cut through.
We recommend using a jig saw or a similar tool to cut this type of pocket cut.
