CUTTING
CAUTION
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage
or excessive wear on the plunger, please
make sure to have surface of the base plate
attached to the work piece while sawing.
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, fi rst draw a
marking gauge line and advance the saw along
that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will
make it possible to cut accurately on a straight
line.
(1) Loosen the base bolt allen wrench attached on
base. (Fig. 12)
(2) Move the base fully forward, and tighten the base
bolt again. (Fig. 12)
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the
attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5
bolt. (Fig. 13)
(4) Set the orbital position to "0".
NOTE: To ensure accurate cutting when using the
Guide (Fig. 13), always set the orbital position
to "0".
2. Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the
feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is
fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.
3. Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.
After attaching the guide by same way noted as
above, drive the nail or screw into the material
through the hole on the guide, then use it for a
axis when cutting. (Fig. 14)
NOTE: Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface
of the base.
4. Cutting metallic materials
(1) Adjust the speed Dial between scales "3" and "4".
(2) Set the orbital position to "0" or "I".
(3) Always use an appropriate cutting fl uid (spindle
oil, soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fl uid
is not avaiable, apply grease to the back surface
of the material to be cut.
5. Pocket cutting (Fig. 15)
(1) In lumber
Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the
wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut
in the center of the lumber.
