English
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment
hole on the base and tighten the M5 bolt. (Fig. 18)
(4) Set the orbital position to "0".
NOTE
To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide
(Fig. 18), 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 an
axis when cutting. (Fig. 19).
NOTE
Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface of
the base.
4. Cutting metallic materials
(1) Set the orbital position to "0" or " I".
(2) Cut the material at medium speed.
(3) Always use an appropriate cutting fl uid (spindle oil,
soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fl uid is not
available, apply grease to the back surface of the
material to be cut.
5. Pocket cutting
(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. (Fig. 20)
(2) In other materials
When cutting a window hole in materials other than
lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or similar tool
from which to start cutting.
6. Angular cutting
The base can be swiveled to both sides by up to 45° for
angular cutting. (Fig. 21)
