Plunge cuts
Warning
Risk of kickback with plunge cuts!
With plunge cuts, there is a risk of kickback when the machine jams.
This can cause serious injuries.
➢
Prior to plunging, position the machine such that the rear edge of
the base plate is in contact with a stop that is fixed to the
workpiece.
➢
While plunging in, hold the machine firmly by the handle and push
the machine slightly forward!
Use the following procedure to perform plunge
cuts:
1.
Release the clamping lever (9).
2.
Using the plunge lever (1), set the machine to
the highest position.
3.
Using the pre-feed lever (12), open the
movable guard completely so that the machine
can be positioned on the workpiece you want

Saw blade and riving knife are now free
above the material.
4.
Align the machine on the workpiece for the
plunge cut.
5.

movement of the machine.
