Operation
firmly. Then push the tool forwards along the line to be cut. Never draw the
tool backwards.
3. 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
a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from within the tool.
Attaching the Parallel Guide
1. Pull out the power Plug.
2. Remove the Screw (8) on the safety
cutting shoe.
3. Insert the parallel guide and secure it
with the screw (8).
Cutting Difficult or Dusty Materials
Practice using the tool by cutting wood
before attempting to cut anything tougher. When cutting tougher material, such
as metals and some plastics, more force is required to hold the work piece and
clamping may be required.
Do not cut materials that produce toxic dust or fumes such as PTFE or
asbestos.
Sheet Metal
Always set the depth adjustment to at least 1 mm greater 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.
Do not cut steel.
Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by a rest of at least 3
minutes.
Ceramic Tiles, Slates or Similar Material
Only use a blade specifically designed for the purpose.
Always
use with a suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor connected as
the dust can be hazardous to the operator and prevent the safety cutting
shoe from operating correctly.
Applying masking or PVC tape to the base plate of the tool, or alternatively
to the work piece can make cutting easier and avoid scratching the tile.
