Tilt the tool up over the leading edge of the base with the tip of the blade
positioned just above the surface of the workpiece.
•
Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base does not move when
you turn the tool on and slowly lower the back end of the tool.
•
As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool onto the
surface of the workpiece.
•
Complete the cut in the usual way.
Finishing edges
To trim the 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 result
in significant blade wear. The bottom of the workpiece can be oiled instead of using a
coolant.
Cutting guide assembly (optional accessory)
Caution
Always make sure the tool is turned off and the battery cartridge is removed before
installing or removing accessories.
Straight cuts
When repeatedly cutting widths of 6-5/16" (160 mm) or less, use of the rip fence will
ensure fast, clean, straight cuts. To install:
•
Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole in the side of the tool base.
•

then tighten the bolt to secure.
