Cutting

Fully understand all operational
1. Secure the work-piece and ensure nothing is directly below the cut line.
2. Bring the tool up to the work-piece so the front of the
base plate is resting on it, but not so that the blade is
touching the work-piece.
3. Ensure that the blade is aligned with the cut line.
4. Hold the tool firmly using both handles (G and H) –
always use both hands to hold the tool.
5. Press the trigger safety switch (I) using your finger in
and hold it in.
6. Pull the trigger (J) to activate the tool – blade speed is
controlled by how much you pull the trigger.
7. Gently tilt the tool forward until the blades begins
cutting. Allow the blade to cut into the work-piece and gradually lower the rear of the tool until the blade
is vertical and the base plate is flat against the work-piece. Then, using a steady down and forward
pressure continue the cut. Maintain sufficient pressure so the blade is cutting freely, however, is not
over-loaded or chattering (do not force the tool).
8. Continue the cut until complete, then release the trigger and allow the blade to stop completely before
withdrawing the blade.

Guidelines for Use

General Cutting
• When cutting across the grain, wood fibres have a tendency to lift and tear, slower cutting may help reduce
this effect.
• When cutting laminates and other materials where it is important not to damage the surface finish, place
tape over the work-piece along the cut-line to help minimise scratching or splintering of the top surface.
• Use slower speeds for cutting harder materials and ensure the blade type is suited to the material.
Generally, blades for harder materials have more teeth.
• When cutting metal, it is recommended to apply a suitable lubricant to the blade during cutting; for
example, cutting oil for ferrous metals.
• When cutting plastics, use blades and speeds that will not over-heat and melt the plastic during cutting.
• Do not apply lateral (sideways) pressure to the blade.
• When cutting curves, cut more slowly to help reduce binding.
• When cutting internal shapes, drill suitable holes to allow the blade to be inserted and cut from there.
• Do not use "orbital" cutting actions on harder material, such as metals and hardwoods.
