Plunge Cuts

Plunge cuts without track increase the risk
of injury.
Install track to workpiece to be cut (See
"Securing Tracks" section for details).
Place the saw on the track 40 at the
desired plunge position. Install travel stop
52 (sold separately) on the track with it
against the rear edge of the saw footplate
(Fig 33, A). As an alternate solution to
using the travel stop, fabricate a fixed stop
or equivalent that is clamped on the track
(Fig 33, B).
Cut limit marks 32 show the length of
plunge cut when the depth of cut is set to
maximum while the saw is on the track.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands (one
hand on the main handle 19 and the other

on the auxiliary handle 4).
Push the lock-off button 2 and press the

Wait until the blade comes to full speed
and press down the saw head slowly to the
preset depth of cut.
Push the saw slowly forward, keeping the
footplate flat against the track and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is
complete.
At the end of the plunge cut, release on/off
switch and wait until the saw blade comes
to a complete stop before pulling the saw
head up (it will retract to the starting
position, and the plunging mechanism
becomes locked again).
