Cutting Operation
(1)
As shown in Fig. 19 the width of the saw
blade is the width of the cut. Therefore,
slide the workpiece to the right (viewed
from the operator’s position) when length
b
is desired, or to the left when length
a
is desired.
(2)
After turning on the switch and checking
that the saw blade is rotating at maximum
speed, slowly push down the handle while
holding down the lock lever and bring the
saw blade in the vicinity of the material to
be cut.
(3)
Once the saw blade contacts the
workpiece, push the handle down
gradually to cut into the workpiece.
(4)
After cutting the workpiece to the desired
depth, turn the power tool OFF and let the
saw blade stop completely before raising
the handle from the workpiece to return it
to the full retract position.
CAUTION:
*Increased pressure on the handle will not increase the cutting speed.
On the contrary, too much pressure may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
WARNING:
*Confirm that the trigger switch is turned OFF and the power plug
has been removed from the receptacle whenever the tool is not in
use.
4. Cutting narrow workpieces (Press cutting)
Slide the hinge down to holder (A), then
tighten the slide securing knob as indicated
in Fig. 20.
Lower the handle to cut the workpiece.
Using the power tool this way will permit
cutting of workpieces of up to 65mm (2-9/16")
square.
