glasses with side shields during power
tool operation . If the operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask .
- Wear protective gloves .

are otherwise damaged can break .
WARNING
Do not attach the plunge-
cut blade facing back-
ward, as operation in this position may
cause serious injury (Fig . 9a) .
The plunge-cut blade is intended to make
precise cuts to aid in the installation of flooring
or wall materials.
a. Select a medium to high speed for making
the initial plunge. You can increase speed
for faster cutting after the initial cut.
b. Allow the tool to reach its full selected speed
before allowing it to contact the workpiece.
c. Do not force the tool during the plunge cut.
Let the speed of the tool do the work.
d. While keeping the teeth of the blade in the
work surface, move the back of the tool in
a slow, sideways motion, which will help to
expedite the cut.
e. Make sure that the tool comes to a
complete stop before you remove it from the
workpiece.
