blade reach full speed, and then slowly lower the blade onto the workpiece until the
base is flat against the workpiece. As the blade enters the material, you must release
the lower blade guard lever.

a complete stop. After the blade has stopped, remove it from the workpiece. If the
corners of your pocket cut are not completely cut through, use a hand saw (available

blade exposed could result in serious injury.
