middle of one of the cutting lines.
4. Set the tool speed at a medium speed and turn
the tool ON.
Note:
The tool and blade should be at a 45° angle to the
floor to allow the corner of the blade to plunge cut into the
flooring.
5. While holding the tool tightly, slowly plunge the corner of
the blade into the flooring until it cuts through the flooring.
Once the plunge cut is complete, set the tool to its
highest speed and complete the cut to the corner of the
rectangle.
6. Turn the saw OFF, remove it from the cut and proceed
to cut in the opposite direction to complete the cut for the
first side of the rectangle.
7. Repeat steps #4, #5 & #6 to cut the remaining three
sides of the rectangle.
8. When all cuts are complete, use a flat blade screw driver
to carefully pry the cut-out from the floor.
Note:
Do NOT use the saw blade to pry the cut-out from
the floor. You will break the blade. If the cut-out is not easy
to pry from the floor, check to make sure each line is cut
completely into the corner of the rectangle.
