Operation
1.Cutting with the vise assembly :
Secure the tool to the workpiece as de- scribed in “Securing tool to workpiece” section. Bring the blade into light con- tact with the workpiece. First, make a
pilot groove, using a slower speed until the blade has cut to a depth of 1- 3 mm (3/64”- 1/8’)) .Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.
CAUTION :
Do not lift the tool handle too hard during operation. This may cause a bevel cut, damage to the blade or damage to the tool.
When cutting the workpiece which is not secured with anything other than the vise assembly, grasp the vise handle with your left hand and the tool handle with your right hand. Then cut the workpiece by raising the tool handle while pulling the vise handle toward you. Be extremely careful in these situa- tions to avoid losing control of the tool and workpiece.
CAUTION :
When cutting the workpiece near an obstacle like floor or wall, use wood blocks to prevent the blade from hitting against the obstacle.
2Cutting without the vise assembly : Press the shoe firmlv against the work-
