Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
Asthesawbladecutsontheupwardstroke,splinteringmayoccuronthesurface
closest to the shoe plate.
-Useafine-toothsawblade.
-Sawfromthebacksurfaceoftheworkpiece.
-Tominimizesplintering,clampapieceofscrapwoodorhardboardtobothsidesof
theworkpieceandsawthroughthissandwich.
Sawing metal
-Beawarethatsawingmetaltakesmuchmoretimethansawingwood.
-Useasawbladesuitableforsawingmetal.
-Whencuttingthinmetal,clampapieceofscrapwoodtothebacksurfaceofthe
workpieceandcutthroughthissandwich.
-Spreadafilmofoilalongtheintendedlineofcutforeasieroperationandlonger
bladelife.Forcuttingaluminum,keroseneispreferred.
RIP / CIRCLE CUTTING (FIGURE G, H)
Rippingandcirclecuttingwithoutapencillineare
easilydonewiththeripfence/circleguide(not
included-availableatextracost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide,
position as shown in figure G and thread the screw
into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.
When ripping, position as shown in figure G and slide
the rip fence under the screw from either side of the
saw.Setthecrossbar(10)atdesireddistancefrom
bladeandtightenscrew.Forripping,thecrossbar
should be down and against the straight edge of the
workpieceasshown.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance
frombladetoholeinfencearm(11)isatthedesired
radiusandtightenscrew.Placesawsothatholein
fencearmisovercenterofcircletobecut(drillhole
for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get
bladeintoposition).Whensawisproperlypositioned,
drive a small nail through hole in fence arm. Using rip
fenceasapivotarm,begincuttingcircle.Forcircle
cutting, the cross bar should be up, as shown in
figure H.
