CAUTION!
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the plunger, please
make sure to have surface attached to the work piece while sawing.
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, first draw a marking gauge line and advance the saw
along that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will make it possible to cut accu-
rately on a straight line.
(1) Loosen the base bolt allen wrench attached on base.
(2) Move the base fully forward, and tighten the base bolt again.
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment hole on the base and tighten
the M5 bolt.
(4) Set the orbital position to “0”.
2. Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting. After attaching the guide by same
way noted as above, drive the nail or screw into the material through the hole on the
guide, then use it for a axis when cutting.
NOTE: Circular cutting must be done with the blade approximately vertical to
the bottom surface of the base.
4. Cutting metallic materials
(1) Adjust the speed Dial between scales “3” and “4”.
(2) Set the orbital position to “0” or “I”.
(3) Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle oil, soapy water, etc.). When a
liquid cutting fluid is not avaiable, apply grease to the back surface of the material to
be cut.
5. Pocket cutting
(1) In lumber
Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the wood, cut step by step until a win-
dow hole is cut in the center of the lumber.
(2) In other materials
When cutting a window hole in materials other than lumber, initially bore a hole with
a drill or similar tool from which to start cutting.
6. Angular cutting
The base can be swiveled to both sides by up to 45° for angular cutting.
(1) Loosen the base bolt by allen wrench attached on base and move the base fully
forward.
(2) Align the scale (from 0 degrees to 45 degrees by 15-degree increments) of the
semi-circular part of the base with the [ ] mark on the gear cover.
(3) Tighten the M5 bolt again.
(4) Set the orbital position to “0”.
