ƒTo avoid a tearing out of the cutting edges when working sensitive area (if the surface is very smooth crepe tape also enables easy drawing of line), fixing a thin board of wood to the workpiece and sawing through both will also avoid tearing out effectively.

ADJUSTING FOR ACCURACY OF 90º CUT (VERTICAL)

This adjustment has been made by the manufacturer. But if it is off, adjust the adjusting screw with a screwdriver while squaring the blade with the base triangular rule, try-square, etc.

CAUTION:

After adjusting the depth of cut and bevel angle, be sure to tighten the screw.

Sighting

ƒThe front of the base is notched to provide accurate guidance.

ƒFor straight cuts, align the edge 0° engraved on it with your cutting line on the workpiece.

ƒFor 45° bevel cuts, align the edge with 45° engraved on it with your cutting line.

OPERATION

ƒHold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the work piece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool ON and wait until the blade attains full speed.

ƒNow simply move the tool forward over the work piece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is complete. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform.

CAUTION:

ƒAlways gently keep the tool moving straight ahead when cutting. Forcing or twist the tool will result in overheating of motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury.

ƒIf the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 30 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

GUIDE RULE

The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly against the side of the work piece and secure it in position with the clamp screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated uniform cuts possible.

MAINTANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon20 brushes clean and free to slip in the holder.
