PLUNGE OR INTERIOR CUTS
The size and versatility of the Dremel SM20
make it an excellent option for making plunge
or interior cuts into a workpiece such as
flooring, paneling, or siding.
1. Mark the surface to be cut with the desired
cut lines
2. Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever so that
the spring loaded foot releases and goes to
the zero depth setting. Leave the Depth
Adjustment Lever loose during this cut.
3. Rest the Foot of the tool on the workpieces
and Align the tool's wheel with the cut line
(Fig. 11).
4. While holding the tool firmly, Press the
Paddle Switch and allow the tool's wheel to
come up to full speed.
5. Slowly plunge/lower the tool and wheel into
the workpiece (Fig. 12).
6. Guide the tool forward and complete the cut
7. Release the Paddle Switch and allow the tool
to come to a complete stop.
8. Remove the tool from the workpiece.
9. Repeat steps 3-8 as required to complete
your cuts.
FLUSH CUTTING
First, consider the desired height of the flush
cut. For flooring installation, add up the
thickness of your flooring adhesive, the flooring
itself, and any underlayments or other material
that will add to the thickness of the finished floor
(Fig. 13).
1. Install the flush cutting wheel on the tool as
described in "Flush Cutting Wheel Assembly",
page 10.
2. Adjust the depth of the wheel to the desired
depth setting.
3. Turn the tool on it's side so that the flush cut
foot rests against the flooring.
4. Firmly grip the tool. Turn tool on and allow it
to come to full speed before entering
workpiece.
5. Complete your cut and remove the tool from
the workpiece before turning the tool off.
