To tilt the base, pull the lever out of the end of clamp screw (A) Fig. 14. Move the lever
to the "down" position (Fig. 15) and turn the lever counter-clockwise until you can tilt
the base. Set the base at the desired setting and tighten the screw by turning the lever
clockwise.
NOTE: After each 90° (or half turn), move the lever to the opposite side of the saw.

USING THE SAW
Secure the workpiece in a bench vise or clamp it to the work table. This is especially
important when sawing small pieces or thin material. As the work progresses in scroll
or curved cut-out pieces, adjust the workpiece to accommodate the movement of
the saw. If the work is large enough, you can secure it with hand pressure across saw
horses. This tool cuts freely with only light feed pressure on the tool. Forcing the saw
will not make it cut faster.
To start the cut, secure the workpiece. Mark the line of cut clearly and place the
forward edge of the saw base firmly on the edge of the workpiece. Start the motor
and move the blade into the workpiece.
Let the saw do the work. Move the machine forward only rapidly enough to keep the
blade cutting. You will not need to cut oversize for hand finishing or sanding on most
materials. The smoothness of cut will often make further sanding unnecessary.
