Setting the parallel stopper
– Fit the parallel stopper (12) into the holder on the
unit as shown.
– Set the parallel stopper to the required dimen-
sions and secure with the locking screw (8).
Connecting the dust extraction mechanism
– Fit the suction hose of a suitable vacuum unit
onto the shaving rejection chute (9).
– If required, use the supplied adapter.
Sawing
– Place the material to be cut on an even, suitable
surface and secure to prevent it slipping.
– Mark the cutting line or set the parallel stopper.
– Hold the device firmly with one hand and place
the front edge of the foot plate on the work
piece.
– Turn on the device.
– Press the device firmly up against the work piece
and saw slowly along the cutting line
(never pull
the saw backwards!)
.
Tips for sawing
– When sawing, the foot plate must rest safety and
fully on the work piece.
– When making cut-outs (e.g. cutting out parts of
kitchen worktops) first drill a hole with a suitable
diameter in the work piece and start the saw in
this hole.
– When sawing metal, apply coolant or lubrication
to the cutting line.
– When sawing small or thin work pieces always
use a stable surface or a work bench.
– Curves, circles or similar shapes must be made
at a low speed.
Things to note when sawing plastic
– When sawing plastic, if possible, use a new
blade.
– When sawing, ensure speedy operation. If you
saw too slowly, the plastic will heat up, become
soft and adhere to the teeth of the blade. The cut
will be untidy and you will need to clean the
blade.
Things to note when sawing metal
– When sawing metal, use a special blade.
– Saw with a low but even speed.
– When cutting profiles, start cutting at the thin
side.
– When cutting U-shaped profiles, start cutting at
the closed side.
