makes it unnecessary to drill a
hole for an inside or pocket cut.

you want to cut.
2. Hold saw firmly and tilt it
forward so the toe of the
base rests on the workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is _...._'_-J__-

well clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then
gradually lower the blade
into the workpiece, firmly holding the toe of the saw base to prevent side
wobble.
5.
Slowly pivot the saw downward like a hinge until the blade cuts through and
the base rests flat on the workpiece.
6. Begin sawing in the usual manner along the cut line.
WARNING: Do not use a scroll blade for plunger cutting.
iMPORTANT: Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as
hardwoods like oak or maple, or metal such as steel.
TO MAKE SHARP CORNERS (Fig. 17)

back up slightly before
turning the corner.
2. After the opening is
complete, go back to each
corner and cut it from
the opposite direction to
square it off.
