PLUNGE CUTS
A plunge cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of
the workpiece, rather than starting from an outside edge
and working inward.
1. Adjust the bevel setting to zero; see “Adjusting the
Bevel Angle” on page 14.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to the free-plunge set-
ting, see “Mode Selection” on page 13.
3. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting and
position it where you would like your cut to occur. You
will find two notches along the blade cover. The notches
indicate the maximum points that the saw’s blade will
reach (Fig. 20).
4. Press the plunge lock button (Fig. 21) to allow the saw
to plunge downwards, while not allowing the blade to
actually contact the workpiece.
5. Power the saw on by pulling the trigger switch (Fig.
21). Allow it to reach full speed.
6. Once the blade has reached its maximum speed, low-
er the blade down into the workpiece until the set cutting
depth has been reached. Once the saw cannot be low-
ered anymore, move the saw along the desired cut line
in an even and steady motion.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIG. 22)
Your track saw can perform cuts close to walls or other
obstructions (for example, when removing hardwood
flooring).
NOTE:
The minimum distance between the cut line and
wall is 16mm (5/8”).
1. Turn the mode selector switch to the scribe-cut or
free-plunge setting, see “Mode Selection” on page 13.
2. Adjust the bevel angle to 0 degrees, see “Adjusting the
Bevel Angle” on page 14.
OPERATION
3. If using the free-plunge setting, set the desired plunge depth and ensure that the track compensation mechanism
is properly adjusted, see “B. Free Plunge Mode” on page 13. If using the scribe-cut setting, the cutting depth is pre-
set at 2.5mm (0.1”).
4. Plunge the saw downwards and complete the cut, see “Operating the Saw” on page 19. After completing the cut,
release the power trigger (Fig. 21) and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the saw from
the workpiece.
