Operation
5.1
Mounting the Saw Blade
Make sure to keep the blade holder clean from saw dust.
1.
Loosen the setting screws.
2.
Slide the blade fully in its holder. Make sure that the back of the blade slides into the slot of the guide.
3.
Tighten the setting screws. These screws can become loose during use and damage the blade. Therefore,
regularly check and make sure the blade sits tight in its holder. Re-tighten the screws if necessary. Only
check the blade when the device is switched off and disconnected from the mains, and the blade is idle. For
the best results, use sharp blades only. Replace worn blades with new ones. The use of worn blades will
diminish the accuracy of the device and may overload the motor.
5.2
Pendulum Setting
The pendulum setting allows setting the device in the desired cutting angle. Set the switch in the desired
pendulum position.

General Use
Clamp the workpiece tightly. Make sure to place the side which will be visible later face down, as the sawing
action is more precise.
Wait for the blade to come to full speed before cutting the workpiece.
Do not apply pressure to the blade. Let the device do the cutting and do not force.
Mark the workpiece if you want to cut a straight line.
Turn the setting wheel to set the cutting motion of the blade.
To lock the on-off switch, press the on-off switch and lock with the locking knob. To unlock, press the on-off
switch once again.
When cutting metal, always use a cooling liquid (oil or water) to avoid overheating the workpiece.
After use, switch off the device and wait for the blade to stop before putting the device down.
5.4
Using the Laser
The laser will project a cutting line onto the workpiece.
1.
Switch on the laser.
2.
Place the device on the workpiece, the cutting mark above cutting line.
3.
Make sure the laser is in line with the marking on the workpiece.
4.
Switch on the device.
5.
Switch off the laser.
