In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start at the edge of the material you’re cutting and slowly push the blade through it. Go slow at first, making sure to follow along with the line you want to cut. Keep the shoe (or the base plate) flat against the material you’re cutting to ensure you’re making a straight line. Continue guiding the saw until you completely cut through the material.  Don’t force the machine through your material since you may break the blade if you push too hard. Let the machine do the work for you. Keep your fingers away from the saw while you’re cutting since the blade is exposed. Install a fine-toothed blade and set the speed of your saw to the slowest setting. Slowly guide your saw along the curve you’re cutting out, turning the back of the saw in the opposite direction of where you want the blade to go. Use a compass tool to draw the curved lines on your material to ensure you get a smooth outline. That way, as you work through the curve, the material will fall out in smaller pieces and relieve the pressure on the blade Look for a screw on the bottom or back of the shoe, and turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. Adjust the angle of the shoe to the angle for your cut and tighten the screw to secure it in place. Set the shoe flat against the surface you’re cutting. Your blade should now be at the angle needed for your cut. Miter cuts are common for making 45-degree angles and creating clean joints between wood. Start with a drill bit that’s slightly larger in circumference to the width of your saw blade. Drill a hole in each corner of the area you want to cut out. Feed the saw blade one of the holes and turn it on. Follow along with the outline for the area you want to cut out towards one of the other holes you drilled. Work from hole to hole until you’re finished with your cuts. This allows you to make a cut out in the middle of the material without cutting in from the edge, like if you needed space for a vent or outlet.
Summary: Guide the blade through the material you’re cutting. Cut along curves by turning the back of the saw. Adjust the angle of the saw’s shoe to make a miter cut. Use a drill to make starting and stopping points for cutting a hole in your material.
