POCKET/PLUNGE CUTTING – WOOD ONLY (FIG. 12)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area to be cut and mark
clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber. Use the appropriate blade for the application. The
blade should be longer than 89 mm (3-1/2") and should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Insert blade in blade clamp.
Next, tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work
surface and the blade clears the work surface (position 1, Fig. 12). Now switch motor
on, and allow saw to come up to speed. Grip saw firmly with both hands and begin a
slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw, keeping the bottom of the
shoe firmly in contact with the workpiece (position 2, Fig. 12). Blade will begin to feed
into material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the saw shoe as a
guide. Lines for any given cut should be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.

METAL CUTTING (FIG. 13)
Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used
and the metal to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non-ferrous materials. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both
sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
Always remember not to force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes
costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin
film of oil or other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and
longer blade life.
