Operating Instructions

TYPES OF CUTS

The saw blade provided with your attachment is
for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is
cutting lengthwise, with the grain of the wood.
Cross cutting is cutting against the grain.
Your rotary tool should be running at the set
speed before starting the cut, and turned off only
after completing the cut.
Primarily for use on wood or wood-like materials.
Other materials may cause blade to wear out
prematurely. Not for use on metal or masonry.
DIRECTIONAL GUIDE
Feed direction for the rotary tool is right to left
only.
For a straight 90° cut, use the directional guide
on the left side of the guard to guide your cut.
This guide also shows feed direction. Make
sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify line of cut.
For minimum splintering, place the good side of
the material face down.
Maximum depth of cut is 1/4". Not for cutting
radii, curves or bevels.
