Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base
with the blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface.
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.
As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the
workpiece surface.
Complete the cut in the normal manner.
