Cutting metallic materials

 

 

(1)

Adjust the speed Dial between scales “3” and “4”.

 

 

(2)

Set the orbital position to “0” or “I”.

 

 

(3)

Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle

 

 

 

oil, soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fluid

 

 

 

is not avaiable, apply grease to the back surface

 

 

 

of the material to be cut.

(1)

In lumber

 

 

Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the

 

 

 

wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut

 

 

(2)

in the center of the lumber. (Fig. 12)

 

 

In other materials

 

 

 

When cutting a window hole in materials other

 

 

 

than lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or

 

 

 

similar tool from which to start cutting.

 

 

6.

Angular cutting

 

Base

 

The base can be swiveled to both sides by up to

 

(1)

45° for angular cutting. (Fig. 13)

 

 

Loosen the base bolt by allen wrench attached

(Fig. 8, 9)

 

mark

Align the scale (from 0 degrees to 45 degrees by

 

 

 

15-degree increments) of the semi-circular part

 

 

 

of the base with the [ ] mark on the gear cover.

 

 

(3)

(Fig. 14)

 

 

Tighten the M5 bolt again. (Fig. 9)

 

 

(4)

Set the orbital position to “0”.

CONCERNING CUTTING OF STAINLESS STEEL PLATES

When used with the No. 97 blade, can cut stainless steel plates.

Note the following to adjus the unit.

CAUTION

● 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.

When cutting stainless steel plates, adjust the unit as described below: 1. Adjust the speed

Blade

Thickness of material

Dial Scale

No. 97

1/16" – 5/32" (1.5 mm – 2.5 mm)

Middle groove position

between scales “2” and “3”

 

 

NOTE: Dial scale reading is for reference only. The higher the speed is, the quicker the material is cut. But the service life of the blade will be reduced in this case. When the speed is too low, cutting will take longer, although the service life will be prolonged. Make adjustments as desired.
