- Check that there is sufficient clearance under
the cutting area so that the blade can move
without obstruction.
- Ensure that there are no electric cables or pipes
present inside or under the piece.
- Make sure there are no nails or screws in the
wood; if so, remove them.

IMPORTANT! The cutting part can cause
serious injuries – use protective gloves!
Purchase quality blades made of HCS (high-
carbon steel) or BIM (bimetal), with a suitable
connection (see fig. C) and suitable for the mate-
rial you are working on; consult your retailer who
will advise you. Our company produces a wide
range of accessories suitable for various uses.
The following table provides some indications
on the type of blade to use based on the material
to be cut and the cut finish.

Do not use excessively long blades as they tend
to bend and remain more exposed during cutting.
During use, the blade gets worn, loses its
sharpness, becomes damaged, breaks: always
perform a visual check before using and replace
if necessary. Remember that a successful cut
also depends on the blade condition.
For the assembly and replacement, see the
chapter “MAINTENANCE- Blade replacement”.
Handle and store the blades with care; do not
expose them to impact, bending, compression,
moisture.
SETTINGS
The following tool settings are necessary to
improve the cut.
Blade speed setting
You can adjust the blade speed by varying the
pressure applied to the start / stop switch (1).
The maximum speed can be set by operating
the dial (2)
Cutting head adjustment (fig.F)
The cutting head can by rotated by +90° / -90°
from the central position.
To unlock rotation, press the top button (12) and
at the same time rotate the body of the machine.
Release the button and make sure the body of
the machine is set at the desired position
USE
Prepare the power tool and all materials you need
for your work (not included): the workpiece, the
PPE and any tools such as pencils, set square
and, if necessary, an extension cable.
Trace the cutting line on your workpiece and, if
free, secure it to a vice or to the workbench with
some clamps.
Wear the personal protective equipment listed
in the “Warnings” chapter.
1. Hold the device with both hands. The power
cord must be kept far from the moving parts
and from your body. The normal position for
the user is with arms slightly stretched forward;
keep your legs slightly apart and keep a stable
position without losing your balance. Avoid
placing your face too close to the work area
and maintain a certain safety distance at all
times.
2. Lay the panel (8) on the surface of the
workpiece, without pressing the switch, so
that the blade is in front of the workpiece but
does not touch it. At this point, the blade will
be completely exposed once you switch on the
power tool. The guide panel can be adjusted
by pressing it so as to adapt to the surface of
the workpiece.
3. Switch the power tool on, wait for it to reach
full speed and slowly move the tool forward
over the workpiece. It is very important that
the tool is already on when the sharp teeth of
the blade touch the workpiece; otherwise, you
may feel a kickback due to the blade stuck in
the workpiece.
