CUTTING

CAUTIONS:

In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the Plunger, please make sure to have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece while sawing.

1.Rectilinear cutting

When cutting on a straight line, first draw a marking gauge line and advance the saw along

that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will make it possible to cut accurately on a straight line.

(1)Loosen the base bolt allen wrench attached on base. (Fig. 11)

(2)Move the base fully forward (Fig. 12), and tighten the base bolt again.

(3)Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5 bolt. (Fig. 13)

(4)Set the orbital position to “0”.

NOTE: To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide (Fig.11), always set the orbital position to “0”.

2.Sawing curved lines

When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.

3.Cutting a circle or a circular arc

The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.

After attaching the guide by same way noted as above, drive the nail or screw into the material through the hole on the guide, then use it for a axis when cutting. (Fig. 14)

NOTE: Circular cutting must be done with the blade approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the base.
