CUTTING (without the edge guide)
WARNING: Always use two hands on the
tool when cutting. This will make operation
of the tool easier and promote maximum
safety.
1.
Install an appropriate cutting blade in the
tool as outlined on Page 8 Fig. 2.
2. Adjust the cutting depth as outlined on
Page 8 Fig. 3.
3.
Plug the tool cord into the power source.
NOTE: The red "power on" light (1) on the
rear of the tool handle will illuminate when
power is "live" (Fig. 7).
4.
Place leading edge of the blade guard (2)
on the workpiece to be cut (Fig. 8).
5. Grasp the tool with two hands. Place your
right hand on the body of the tool (3) being
careful not to cover the motor vents (4).
Place your left hand on the forward part of
the tool (5) so your thumb can operate the
blade guard release button (6).
6. Line up front cut line indicator (7) with the
cutting line marked on the workpiece (8).
NOTE: Do not place the blade guard too
far forward on the workpiece. This is
important to avoid the blade touching the
workpiece when the blade guard is raised
to expose the blade as outlined in
instruction # 8.
7. Turn switch ON as outlined in Fig. 6 above.
NOTE: Do not proceed any further until the
blade is running at full speed.
8. Using the thumb on your left hand, press
the blade guard release button (6).
9. Gently press downward on the front of the
tool to raise the blade guard until it touches
the depth control stop (9).
10. Re-check the alignment of the front cut line
indicator (7) and the cutting line marked on
the workpiece (8).
11. Slowly move the tool forward until the
blade touches the workpiece and begins to
cut at the cutting line.
