Operation

When cutting with this tool, the thickness of the blade i s cut as well. Therefore, your cutting line should be on either the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board. Switch on the tool and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering gently into the cut. When the blade contacts the workpiece, gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.

completed, switch off the tool and WAIT

COMPLETE STOP before returning the

coasting blade and be thrown around dan-

 

 

 

 

gerously.
