Flush-To Cutting (Fig. L)
The compact design of the saw motor housing and spindle
housing permits extremely close cutting to floors, corners
and other difficult areas.

Pocket/Plunge Cutting – Wood Only
(Fig. M)
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 3–1/2" (89 mm) 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. M). 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. M). 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. N)
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.
