Plunge cutting

Fig.17

You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut

if you carefully do as follows.

1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with

thejigsawbladepointpositionedjustabovethework-

piece surface.

2. 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.

3. Asthejigsawbladepiercestheworkpiece,slowly

lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece

surface.

4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.
