Operating Instructions
TYPES OF CUTS
The saw blade provided with your attachment is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is cutting lengthwise, with the grain of the wood. Cross cutting is cutting against the grain.
Your rotary tool should be running at the set speed before starting the cut, and turned off only after completing the cut.
Primarily for use on wood or
DIRECTIONAL GUIDE
Feed direction for the rotary tool is right to left only.
For a straight 90° cut, use the directional guide on the left side of the guard to guide your cut. This guide also shows feed direction. Make sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify line of cut. For minimum splintering, place the good side of the material face down.
Maximum depth of cut is 1/4". Not for cutting radii, curves or bevels.
!WARNING Always be sure that hands or fingers do not
interfere with the free movement of the lower guard.
Maintain a firm grip. Never force the rotary tool. Use light and continuous pressure.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to tear and lift. Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this effect.
! WARNING Clean lower guard frequently to assure a
rapid return of lower guard.
!WARNING This attachment is not intended for abrasive cut
off wheels. Standard Dremel wheels will not fit on mandrel.
