CUTTING WOOD
PLUNGE CUTTING IN WOOD
• Rest the saw shoe on the workpiece in such a position that the blade
forms an appropriate angle for the plunge cut.
• Switch the saw on and slowly feed in the blade. Make sure that the
saw shoe remains in contact with the workpiece at all times.
POCKET CUTS IN WOOD
• Measure and mark out the pocket cut. Using a narrow blade, rest
the bottom of the shoe on the workpiece ensuring the blade is on
the cutting line. If necessary, e.g. in confined spaces, use the outer
edge of the shoe as your guideline.
CUTTING METAL
• Choose the correct blade for cutting metal. Support the workpiece
with wooden blocks on either side.
• Apply a thin film of lubricant along the cutting line to prevent the
tool from overheating.
CUTTING PLASTICS
• Always work at reduced speed and carry out a test cut to see if the
material is sensitive to heat or vibration.
