To start the saw, pull the trigger switch
and the blade will move up and
down. Wait until the blade is running
at speed before attempting to cut the
workpiece. To stop the tool if the
switch lock is used, pull the trigger
switch fully in, then release it and the
motor will stop.
When starting, place the sole-plate on
the workpiece and let the blade
touch the cut line. To make your cut,
pull the trigger and move the saw
slowly forward along the cutting line.
Take extra care when cutting curves - move the blade slowly to avoid stress
on the blade, leading to blade breakages. Never use a blade type which is
unsuitable for the type of material to be cut.
When sawing, hold the saw in front of you but do not put more pressure on
the blade than is necessary and avoid putting any lateral pressure on the
blade.
Let the blade work through the workpiece, ensuring the sole plate is flush with
the workpiece and the blade remains perpendicular to it.
CUTTING DIFFERENT MATERIALS
CUTTING WOOD
Check that any previously used timber being sawn does not contain any nails
or other metal objects which would damage the blade.
CUTTING METAL
Having chosen a suitable blade for cutting metal it is recommended to
lubricate the material and saw blade with cutting oil to prevent the tool from
overheating. Support the workpiece with wooden blocks on either side.
CUTTING PLASTIC
Having chosen a suitable blade for cutting plastic, make a test cut first to
determine that the material can tolerate the heat generated by sawing.
ADJUSTING THE SOLE-PLATE
The sole-plate is adjustable so that bevels of up to 45° may be cut. Loosen the
two screws under the sole-plate before adjusting it to the desired angle and
re-tightening the screws. However, if absolute accuracy is required you should
always check the angle with a protractor whilst carefully tightening the
securing screws. This includes setting the base plate for cutting at 90°, (check
roller is still only just touching blade).
