PLUNGE CUTS
A plunge cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of
the workpiece, rather than starting from an outside edge
and working inward.
1. Adjust the bevel setting to zero; see "ADJUSTING THE
BEVEL ANGLE" on page 15.
2. Turn the mode selector switch to the free-plunge setting,
see "MODE SELECTION" on page 14.
3. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting and posi-
tion it where you would like your cut to occur.
4. Press the plunge lock button (Fig. 13 - 1) to allow the
saw to plunge downwards, while not allowing the blade to
actually contact the workpiece.
5. Power the saw on by pulling the trigger switch (Fig. 13 -
2). Allow it to reach full speed.
6. Once the blade has reached its maximum speed, low-
er the blade down into the workpiece until the set cutting
depth has been reached. Once the saw cannot be lowered
anymore, move the saw along the desired cut line in an
even and steady motion.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIG. 14)
Your track saw can perform cuts close to walls or other obstructions (for example, when removing hardwood floor-
ing).
NOTE: The minimum distance between the cut line and wall is 16mm (5/8").
1. Turn the mode selector switch to the scribe-cut or free-plunge setting, see "MODE SELECTION" on page 14.
2. Adjust the bevel angle to 0 degrees, see "ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE" on page 15.
3. If using the free-plunge setting, set the desired plunge depth and ensure that the track compensation mechanism
is properly adjusted, see "B. FREE PLUNGE MODE" on page 14. If using the scribe-cut setting, the cutting depth is
pre-set at 2.5mm (0.1").
4. Plunge the saw downwards and complete the cut, see "OPERATING THE SAW" on page 19. After completing the
cut, release the power trigger (Fig. 13 - 2) and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the saw
from the workpiece.
