B) Plunge cutting 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 blade point posi-
tioned just above the workpiece sur-
face
2 Apply pressure to the tool
so that the
front edge of the base will not move
when you switch on the tool and gen-
tly lower the back end of the tool
3 As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the
slowly
workpiece surface.
4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.
Finishing edges
To trim edges or make dimensional adjust-
ments, run the blade lightly along the cut
edges.
