GENERAL CUTTING – cont'd
CAUTION: Do not force the jigsaw. Use only
enough force to keep the blade cutting.
Excessive pressure on the blade will cause
it to bend and twist, which may result in
breaking the blade.
BEVEL CUTTING
PLUNGE CUTTING
WARNING: To avoid loss of control, broken
blades or damage to the workpiece, always
use extreme caution when making plunge
cuts. It is not recommended to plunge cut any
material other than wood. Wherever possible,
drill a pilot hole 3/8" (9.5 mm) or larger in the
area to be cut out and start cutting with the
blade in the pilot hole. This will avoid the need
to plunge cut.
NOTE: Use only blades with 7 teeth per inch for
plunge cutting.
