OPERATION

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 14.

2. Turn the mode selector switch to the free-plunge set-

ting, see "Mode Selection" on page 13.

3. Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting and

position it where you would like your cut to occur. You

will find two notches along the blade cover. The notches

indicate the maximum points that the saw’s blade will

reach (Fig. 20).

4. Press the plunge lock button (Fig. 21) 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.

21). Allow it to reach full speed.

6. Once the blade has reached its maximum speed,

lower 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. 22)

Your track saw can perform cuts close to walls or

other obstructions (for example, when removing

hardwood flooring). 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 13

2. Adjust the bevel angle to 0 degrees, see “Adjust-

ing the Bevel Angle” on page 14.

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 13. 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. 21) and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing

the saw from the workpiece.
