PLUNGE CUTTING
Fig.E
• Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials
such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster
boards, etc.
• However, this requires a certain practise and is only
possible with short saw blades.
• Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on.
• Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests
on the workpiece surface as shown.
• Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving
the saw to a vertical position and continue to saw
along the cutting line.
• Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the
work is complete.
FLUSH SAWING
• Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw projec-
ting objects (e,g, water pipes, iron bars, etc,) flush
against the wall.
• Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and bend
slightly so that the footplate rests against the wall.
• Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece
keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.
There are no user servicable parts in this unit. Any
repairs or servicing should be carried out by qualified
