Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods
“Boring a starting hole” or “Plunge cutting”.
Boring a starting hole
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.

Plunge cutting
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.
