In doing so, only apply light pressure to the saw blade.
Cover the cutting line with a suitable coolant when cutting metal.
Make sure to pay attention to the maximum material thickness to be machined:
• Wood:
80 mm
• Plastic:
12 mm
• Metal:
5 mm
Sawing out sections
− Use a drill to bore a 10 mm hole in the section to be sawn out. Insert the saw
blade
15
into this hole and begin to saw out the desired section.
Performing plunge cuts
Plunge cutting is necessary if it the starting position is not located on the edge of a
work piece or if no hole has been drilled in advance. If a hole is drilled in advance,
it must be large enough to carry the saw blade. In this case, you can proceed as
described in the chapter section “Sawing”.
Proceed as follows for a plunge cut:
1. Switch the product on (see chapter ‘Switching product on and off’)
2. Place the product on the saw shoe’s rounded front edge
7
.
3. Slowly lower the saw blade until it touches the workpiece.
4. Slowly let the saw blade
15
cut into the workpiece, without applying pressure.
5. As soon as the saw blade comes out on the other side of the workpiece, switch the
product off (see chapter ‘Switching the product on and off’).
6. Lift the product and, at the same time, carefully pull the saw blade out.
7. Insert the saw blade in the cut you just made, but this time with the product in the
normal position (the saw shoe is securely resting on the workpiece and is in full
contact with it).
8. Switch the product on and continue cutting.
