Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If a
lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to
clear from within the tool.
WARNING! If any of the following events occur during normal operation, the
power supply should be shut off at once and tool thoroughly inspected by a
qualified person and repaired if necessary:
The rotating parts get stuck or speed drops abnormally low.
The tool shakes abnormally accompanied by some unusual noise.
The motor housing gets abnormally hot.
Heavy sparks occur around the motor area.
9.5
Pocket Cut
Install a saw blade suitable for the material you are about to saw. (see chapter 2.
Description
– Accessories). Set the depth of cut, plug in the mains supply and then place
the base plate (14) onto the work surface. Ensure that the front indication mark on the
base plate aligns with the start line.
Switch on the tool and wait for a moment until the blade reaches full speed. Next, plunge
the blade slowly and gently, but firmly into the material. Then push the tool forwards along
the line to be cut. (Never draw the tool backwards)
Once the finish line has been reached, lift the tool from the work surface before switching
off. If a lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for extra few seconds to allow the
dust being discharged from the tool.
10 CUT-OUTS
10.1
Cutting out tips:
If the cut is to be covered, for example by a vent cover, the corners can be overlapped to
ensure that the waste material is completely detached. (Fig. 9)
If the cut out is to be seen, do not overlap the corners. In this circumstance, as the cutting
blade is circular, the waste material will not be fully detached. The corners will therefore,
require finishing with a knife. If the material is thin and the back surface unimportant, the
waste material can just be pushed out. (Fig. 10)
Where there is access to the back surface of the material to be cut, the cut out can be
marked out with an over cutting allowance. The cut is then made from the back surface to
ensure perfect corners on the front surface. (Fig. 11)
10.2
Cutting particularly Tough or Abrasive Materials
10.2.1 Sheet metal:
Only use a blade specifically designed for this purpose.
Always set the depth adjustment to at least 1 mm deeper than the material thickness to
avoid the blade riding up over the surface. Scrap material is required underneath the work
surface.
Remove burrs and rust as these impede the feed across the material.
Thick beeswax (furniture polish) applied to the base plate of the tool makes metal cutting
easier. (the base plate will slide easier over the work piece)
Only suitable for cutting brass, copper, lead, aluminium or galvanised mild steel.
Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by a rest of at least 3 minutes.
