    to retract the guard by hand.

    8
    Making plunge cuts:
    •Lay out the cut and adjust the saw for depth.
    •Wearing eye protection, hold guard open and tilt the saw up with front edge of
    base resting on the work.
    •With teeth clear of the work, start saw.
    •Lower blade and advance saw to corner.
    •Reverse direction and cut into the corner.
    •Continue in this manner to cut the other sides.
