Preselect Cutting Depth
Note: We recommend adjusting the cutting depth at least 2 mm deeper than the thickness of the
material. This will result in a clean cut.
Release the quick release of the cutting depth pre-selector (7) , adjust the desired cutting depth
at the scale (7) a and refit the quick release.
Fitting the Parallel Fence
Release the screw of the parallel fence (11a) at the base plate (9) and insert the parallel fence
(11) into the parallel fence fixture (10) . Retighten these screws (11a).
Start-Up
Switching on and off
Switching on:
Pull the ON / OFF switch (6) towards the back
(see Figure A)
.
Switching off:
Release the ON / OFF switch (6) .
Handling the Plunge Saw
1. Put the machine onto the material and switch it on as described in the chapter
“Switching on and off ”
.
2. If necessary adjust the machine to the parallel fence (11) or a drawn line.
3. Hold the machine as shown in Figure 1A and cut with light pressure.
Releasing the Plunge Blocker
Push the plunge blocker 1 towards the front and keep it pressed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Recommendations for working with the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum
a) Select the right blade for the material you are going to cut.
b) Make sure the blade is sharp and in good condition.
c) Adjust the blade to the desired cutting depth
(Figure 1A)
.
d) Place the work piece you want to cut on a table, workbench or any other suitable surface and
hold it in place with clamps or a vice. Place sufficient scrap material under the work piece so
you do not make cuts in the support surface or break the blade due to contact with the hard
support surface such as a concrete floor.
e) Hold the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum in your hand in a comfortable position. Your thumb or
index finger should be resting on the ON/OFF switch. Make sure your hand does not cover
the ventilation holes on the front or back of the device.
f) Place the base plate on the work piece. To leave a gap from the work piece, place the saw
so the back part of the base plate sticks out. Do not let the saw blade penetrate into the
work piece yet.
g) Turn on the tool and wait a few seconds until the blade is moving at the operating speed.
Press the lever (1) for releasing the blade guard and allow the blade to slowly penetrate into the
work piece while applying some pressure.
h) Move the tool forward while you cut through the work piece. Never move the tool backward
while the blade is in the work piece.
i) Do not apply great force when cutting with the tool. Applying too much pressure creates wear
and tear and can tire you unnecessarily.
j) Make sure the base plate (9) is always flat on the work piece. This is particularly important when
cutting narrow bars that are not completely covered by the base plate.
Cutting Along a Line
Using the indicator on the front and rear of the blade guard makes it easier to cut along
a straight line.
Plunge Cutting
(see Figure 1A)
It is sometimes impossible to make plunge cuts in certain very hard materials.
a) Adjust the cutting depth (7a), connect the tool to the power source and place the base plate on
the work piece. Make sure the depth setting on the side is the same for all cuts.
b) Turn on the tool and wait two seconds until the blade is spinning at the working speed. Then
allow the blade to slowly penetrate into the work piece while applying some pressure. Move the
tool forward while you cut through the work piece. Never move the tool backward while the
blade is in the work piece.
c) When you reach the end of the cut, turn off the saw and take it out of the work piece.
