For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.
Insertthejigsawbladeintothisholetostartyourcut.
Plunge cutting
►Fig.12
Youneednotboreastartingholeormakealead-incut
if you carefully do as follows.
1. Tiltthetooluponthefrontedgeofthebasewith
thejigsawbladepointpositionedjustabovethework-
piece surface.
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
thebasewillnotmovewhenyouswitchonthetooland
gentlylowerthebackendofthetoolslowly.
3. Asthejigsawbladepiercestheworkpiece,slowly
lowerthebaseofthetooldownontotheworkpiece
surface.
