Metal cutting

Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant.

Anti-splintering device

To reduce the potential for workpiece sur- face splintering, the anti-splintering device can be used. Fit it into the base from below so that it surrounds the sides of the blade.

LAnti-sprintering device

Plastic base plate (optionalaccessory) Use the plastic base plate when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces from damage. To replace the base plate, remove the four screws with the hex wrench.

Guide rule (rip fence; optional accessory) When cutting widths of under 150 mm (5-29/32") repeatedly, use of the guide rule will assure fast, clean, straight cuts. To install it, loosen the bolt on the front of the base. Slip in the guide rule and secure the bolt.
