BEVEL CUTTING -
cont’d
Once the cutting angle has been verified,
proceed with the cutting activity as outlined
in “GENERAL CUTTING” above.
PLUNGE CUTTING
WARNING:
To avoid loss of
control, broken blades or damage to the
workpiece, always use extreme caution
when making plunge cuts. It is not
recommended to plunge cut any
material other than wood. Wherever
possible, drill a pilot hole 3/8" (9.5 mm)
or larger in the area to be cut out and
start cutting with the blade in the pilot
hole. This will avoid the need to plunge
cut.
NOTE: Use only blades with 7 teeth per
inch for plunge cutting.
1. To plunge cut an inside hole, clearly
mark the cutting line on the workpiece.
2. Set the bevel angle at 0°, and then
lock the base plate.
3. Tilt the jigsaw forward so it rests on
the front edge of the base plate and in
a position where the blade will NOT
touch the workpiece when the switch
is turned ON (Fig. 13).
NOTE:
Make sure the saw blade is inside
the area to be cut.
4. Start the jigsaw and slowly lower the
blade onto the workpiece while
making sure the front of the saw base
remains in contact with the workpiece.
Allow the blade to slowly cut through
the wood.
