ENGLISH
Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting (Fig.H).
The shoe plate (9) should be held firmly against the
material being cut. This will help prevent the saw from
jumping, reduce vibration and minimise blade breakage.
♦ Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
♦ Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate
is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw
blade that cuts on the downward stroke or:
♦ Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
♦ Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
♦ To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
filings will be hot and may cause fire.
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
♦ Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
♦ When cutting thin sheet 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.
Rip Fence (optional)
♦ Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are
easily done with a rip fence and circle guide (optional
spare part).
Attaching Rip Fence (Figs. I )
♦ Insert rip fence (17) into the shoe plate slots with the
cross bar facing down as shown in figure I.
♦ Place screw (18) into hole in bottom of shoe plate.
♦ Align clamp bar (19) over screw with lipped edge facing
down and pointing towards the rear of the saw.
♦ Using a phillips screwdriver, run the screw into the
threaded hole in the bar clamp.
♦ Adjust to width of cut and tighten screw.
Circle Cutting (Fig. J)
♦ Insert rip fence into slot on the right side of shoe plate
with cross bar facing up.
♦ Adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in
cross bar is the desired radius and tighten screw.
♦ Place saw so that centre of hole in cross bar is over
centre of circle to be cut (make plunge 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 cross bar into exact centre of circle to
be cut.
♦ Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
