Loosen the pivot lock screw and slide it to ad-
just the radius of the circle, then tighten it again.
Note: check you have adjusted the radius of the
circle correctly by measuring the distance from
the pivot to the outside of the bit.
See the section How to Attach the Circular
Cutter.

Position the edge of the control handle base
above the workpiece at a 45-degree angle.
Align the centre guide pivot with the guide hole.

Switch on your Turbothrust Saw®.
6
When the motor is running, slowly move your
Turbothrust Saw® into an upright position and
allow the bit to move downwards while cutting
into the material.
Make sure the pivot enters and remains inside
the guide hole.
7
When the bit has penetrated the material fully,
gently move the tool in a clockwise direction.
Use slow and constant pressure as you cut and
let Turbothrust Saw® do the work. (Image R)

Cut out the circle, keeping Turbothrust Saw® in
an upright position and the control handle flat
above the workpiece. Carefully rotate the han-
dle of the circular cutter and Turbothrust Saw®
around the centre guide pivot.

When you have finished cutting, switch off the
tool and wait until it has stopped completely be-
fore removing it from the workpiece.
7. Tips and Troubleshooting
Cutting Tips
• Always use two hands on Turbothrust Saw® for greater
control and to prevent the bit from coming off the workpiece.
• The thickness of the material should never exceed the
length of the cutting grooves.
• When cutting a hole in a vertical surface, always start and
end the cutting process at the top of the hole, never the
bottom. This will ensure that the piece of material you have
cut out will fall away from the rotating bit.
• Always cut in a clockwise direction, except when cutting
drywall/plasterboard. If you cut in an anti-clockwise direc-
tion, you may lose control of Turbothrust Saw®.
• You can use the 1/4" wood and multipurpose bit to cut
wood up to 20 mm thick. Do not force the tool while cutting.
This will help extend the life of the bits.
• You can use the smaller wood and multipurpose bits for
thinner materials, up to 8 mm thick.
• Because the bit rotates, you will notice a slight pull to the
left when cutting. Natural deviations in the structure of the
wood may cause the bit to stray off course. This effect will
be exacerbated if you apply too much force.
• When you are using Turbothrust Saw® to etch glass, pla-
ce the object on a sack of wheat in order to obtain a stable
work platform.
• If Turbothrust Saw® overheats, it may stop automatically
to avoid damaging the motor. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before starting work again.
8. Cleaning and Storage
• Frequently remove dust and accumulated debris using a
soft, DRY brush.
• Do not use flammable substances or liquids to clean Tur-
bothrust Saw®, as they may damage it. Use a clean cloth
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
• Use eye protection when removing dust from Turbothrust
Saw® with an air jet cleaner. Keep the vents clean and un-
obstructed to allow maximum airflow around the tool.
• Always store Turbothrust Saw® in a safe, dry place. Keep
the vents and motor controls clean and free of dust and
debris.
9 Maintenance and Repair
• Only use identical spare parts when performing main-
tenance work. Using other parts may cause a hazard or
damage the tool.
• Do NOT attempt to modify Turbothrust Saw® or make
your own accessories. Altering or modifying Turbothrust
Saw® or using it in an unintended manner will be conside-
red improper use of the tool, and could cause hazardous
situations leading to serious injury. Improper use will also
invalidate the warranty.
• All the bearings in your Turbothrust Saw® have been gi-
ven sufficient high-quality lubricant to keep them lubricated
throughout the working life of the tool (provided it is used
under normal conditions). Therefore, it is not necessary to
apply any additional lubrication.
• Unplug the power cable before performing any mainte-
nance work, making any adjustments or doing any repairs
to Turbothrust Saw® or its accessories.
• Turbothrust Saw® does not contain any parts that can be
repaired by the user.
• If the power cable is damaged, ask the manufacturer or
authorized service provider to replace it immediately.
• Occasionally you may observe sparks through the vents.
This is normal and will not cause any damage to the tool
or to you.
