POCKET CUTS
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the workpiece rather than starting from an outside edge
and working inward. Pocket cuts can be very dangerous for the novice to attempt because of the need to manually
retract the lower guard and perform a plunge cut which is potentially hazardous.
1. Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
2. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
3. Swing the lower blade guard up by using the lower blade guard handle.
Note:
always raise the lower blade guard with the handle to avoid serious injury.
4. Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
5. Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with the rear handle elevated so the blade does not touch
the work piece.
6. Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
7. Guide the saw down into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting. Cutting in the reverse direction
could cause the saw to climb up on the work piece and back toward you.
8. Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
9. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
10 Repeat this procedure for the remaining sides, and then clear the corners out with a hand saw or jig saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position. Leaving the blade exposed could lead
to serious injury.
