A carpenter needs to make a plunge (pocket) cut into the middle of a subfloor panel using a portable circular saw. In what order should the operational and safety steps be performed?
- 1Rest the front edge of the saw shoe firmly on the workpiece with the blade positioned directly over the cut line while keeping the blade teeth clear of the wood surface.
- 2Manually retract the lower movable blade guard using the retracting lever while maintaining a firm two-handed grip on the saw.
- 3Engage the power trigger switch and allow the motor to accelerate the blade to full operating speed.
- 4Slowly pivot the rear of the saw downward around the front shoe edge, easing the spinning blade into the workpiece until the shoe sits completely flat.
- 5Push the saw forward along the cut line to the stopping point, release the trigger, and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before lifting the tool.
Cevap
Rest front shoe on workpiece -> Retract lower guard with lever -> Start motor and reach full speed -> Pivot saw downward into material -> Push forward along cut line and allow blade to stop before lifting
Safely making a plunge (pocket) cut with a portable circular saw requires first resting the front of the shoe on the workpiece to establish a pivot point, manually retracting the lower guard with its lever, bringing the motor to full operating RPM before contact, pivoting the spinning blade slowly downward until the shoe is flat, and finally feeding forward to the endpoint and letting the blade stop completely before lifting the saw.
