EDGE GUIDE (FIG. 14 & 15)
The edge guide is used to make thru cuts
parallel to a straight edge or a piece of plywood
temporarily secured to the workpiece with
screws or clamps. Make sure that the clamps
do not interfere with the free movement of the
tool throughout the entire length of the cut.
To use the edge guide:
a. Insert it into the attachment collar and position
it at an angle to the blade (Fig. 14).
b. Loosen the collar locking bolt and rotate the
collar around the neck to make sure that
blade is fully engaged into the workpiece
throughout the complete stroke (oscillation) of
the blade.
If either edge of the blade travels
outside of the workpiece, the tool may
jump causing loss of control and damage
to the workpiece.
Tighten the collar locking
bolt (Fig. 14).
c. Press the right edge of the edge guide against
the straight edge and start the tool. Continue
cutting along the straight edge (Fig. 14).
The edge guide can also function as the depth
gauge when using a segment blade
(not included with the tool).
a. With the segment blade installed, move the
edge guide do desired distance "X" away from
the tips of the segment blade teeth (Fig. 15).
b. Tighten the locking knob (Fig. 15).
