INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
NOTE: ALWAYS feed the saw to your
RIGHT so the blade teeth advance into the
wood. If the saw is moved to your left, it could
result in "kickback" and loss of control of the
saw, which can result in damage to the
material or personal injury. Move the saw
slowly and evenly through the material. Hold
the saw firmly and keep it firmly on the floor as
you cut through the material.
CUTTING INSIDE CORNERS
1. The Roberts 10-55 LONGNECK 6" Jamb Saw will cut completely
though 90° corners in base moldings up to 1/2" thick. The depth
gauge must be removed, and the motor must be unplugged
while removing the depth gauge.
2. Set the height adjustment skirt to the proper level.
3. Turn the saw on, and advance the blade slowly into the
base, to the left of the corner. Move the saw evenly and
steadily to the RIGHT, and carefully into the corner. Maintain
your depth of cut so you do not cut more than the thickness
of the wood base molding. Note: With the blade fully
inserted into the corner, the depth of cut will be slightly
deeper than needed to fully cut 1/2" thick wood base molding.
REGARDING WOOD BASE MOLDINGS
While some flooring installers trim wood base molding with
jamb saws, it is not a recommended practice.
Professional Flooring and Trade Associations recommend that the base molding be removed
then replaced after the new floor is installed. This results in a better looking installation and
preserves the height and appearance of the base molding. Should you choose to trim the wood
base molding with the jamb saw, be especially careful to avoid embedded finishing nails.
Make sure you have a flat, even, smooth surface to support the saw base plate as you cut the
base molding. Never run the saw over carpeting or pad. Do not allow the blade to contact the
floor or substrate! This will overload the motor, and damage the blade.
REGARDING DOOR TRIMMING
ALWAYS remove doors, and cut evenly with a table saw or circular saw. It is not recommended
practice to cut doors with a jamb saw.
REGARDING MASONRY
The masonry blade is primarily used for cutting brick. It is not for use on tile or stone. We
strongly recommend the operator wear a dust mask. DO NOT use this saw for cutting steel
or aluminum.
