track.
Plunge cuts without track increase
the risk of injury.
Install track to workpiece to be cut (See
“Securing Tracks” section for details).
Place the saw on the track
40
at the
desired plunge position. Install travel
stop
52
(sold separately) on the track
with it against the rear edge of the saw
footplate (Fig 31,
A
). As an alternate
s o l u t i o n t o u s i n g t h e t r a v e l s t o p ,
fabricate a fixed stop or equivalent that
is clamped on the track (Fig 31,
B
).
Pull the clear window

down until it
touches the workpiece. Cut limit marks
35
and
36
show the length of plunge cut
w h e n t h e d e p t h o f c u t i s s e t t o
maximum.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands
(one hand on the main handle
19
and
the other on the auxiliary handle
4
).
Push the lock-off button
2
and press the
on/off switch
1
to turn the saw on.
Wait until the blade comes to full speed
and press down the saw head slowly to
the preset depth of cut.
Push the saw slowly forward, keeping
the footplate flat against the track and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is
complete.
At the end of the plunge cut, release
on/off switch and wait until the saw
blade comes to a complete stop before
pulling the saw head up (it will retract to
the starting position, and the plunging
mechanism becomes locked again).
