Cutting/Sawing Operation
CAUTION:
Always hold the tool with the base flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so may
cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool
may cause a slanted cutting surface and blade breakage.
For tight curves, it is best to use a narrow saw blade.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact with the workpiece and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and
gently move the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line.
Bevel Cutting
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before tilting the
base.
Bevel cuts can be finished at any angle between 0°- 45° (left or right) by tilting the
base.
To adjust the cutting angle, loosen the
hex socket head screw and slightly
slide the base towards the saw blade,
then the base can be tilted to a
maximum of 45° to the right or left.
Tilt the base to the desired angle and
retighten the hex socket head screw.
The cutting angle can be pre-adjusted
with the scale for bevel cutting. It is recommended to use a commercial protractor
for precise adjustment. (Fig. 6)
To achieve precise cutting angles, the base can be fitted at 0° and 45° (left and right).
For this, however, the base must be pushed back (towards the motor) to the stop so
that the notch in the base engages in the positioning pin.
For cutting angles out of 0°-45° (left and right), adjust the angle with the scale for bevel
cutting primarily and then use a set square or protractor to finish the adjustment.
When returning the base to the 0° (normal) position , lightly push the base toward the
direction of the motor until it can be felt to engage, then retighten hex socket head
screw.
Repositioning the Base
CAUTION:
With the base set back, it is only possible to work in the 0° (normal) position. The
guide rule as well as the splinter guard cannot be used in this position.
When tightening the screw, the base must be pressed to the rear until it can be felt to
engage.
For flush cuts close to edges, the base can
be moved to the rear for easy operation.
Use a hex wrench to remove the screw,
take off the base and move it to the rear so
that the screw can be screwed into the rear
thread, and then tighten the screw to
secure the base. (Fig. 7)
Splinter Guard
CAUTION:
The splinter guard cannot be used for certain types of saw blades (e. g., set saw
blades).
The splinter guard cannot be used when making bevel cuts.
