I learned this technique and several others from this video: Skil Saw Pro Tips This makes it possible to make the plunge portion of the cut one-handed. The point of all this is that the front edge of the baseplate keeps the saw steady and aligned with the cut line, and provides a pivot that the saw can rotate around as it makes the plunge. When the baseplate of the saw is in full contact with the workpiece, you can release the blade guard and continue sawing as normal.Raise the blade slightly, again keeping the front edge of the baseplate in contact with the workpiece, and still holding the blade guard in a raised position, engage the saw and lower the blade to make the plunge cut.With the saw still off, slowly lower the blade to make contact with the workpiece and make any fine adjustment to the angle of the cut.Keeping the front edge of the baseplate in contact with the workpiece, use one hand to raise the blade guard and hold it in a raised position.Not that the front edge of the baseplate is at right angles to the saw blade, so if this is square to the cut line, the saw blade will enter parallel to the cut line.
