OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
NOTE:
•
If the tool is operated continuously until the
battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool
to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.

Base
Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
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.
When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly.
Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before tilting
the base.
►
Fig.16
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).

Bolt
To tilt the base, loosen the bolt on the back of the base
with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is
positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base.

Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.
The V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel

Bolt
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole:
►
Fig.20:
1.
Starting hole
•
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in
diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start
your cut.
B) Plunge cutting:
►
Fig.21
•
You need not bore a starting hole or make a
lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows.
1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with
the blade point positioned just above the work
-
piece surface.
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
the base will not move when you switch on the tool
and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower
the base of the tool down onto the workpiece
surface.
4.
Complete the cut in the normal manner.
Finishing edges
►
Fig.22
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
blade lightly along the cut edges.
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead
of using a coolant.
Rip fence set (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before installing
or removing accessories.
1. Straight cuts
►

Rip fence
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less, use
of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight cuts.

Fence guide
To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole
on the side of the tool base with the fence guide facing
down. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting width
position, then tighten the bolt to secure it.
