Sailrite Blade Foam Saw User Guide
SAFETY NOTICES
• When operating the Sailrite Blade Foam Saw, always keep your hands away from the cutting edge. Do not touch the moving blade.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing while using this tool. Wear eye protection. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool while
you are tired.
• Unplug the tool when not in use and before servicing or changing the blades.
• Always be sure to keep the power cord clear of the blade while operating the foam saw.
• Keep the foam saw away from water.
• To avoid unintentional starting, do not carry the plugged-in tool with your finger on the switch.
• Do not operate the Sailrite Blade near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. The motor in the tool normally
sparks and might ignite fumes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Always make sure the screw (A) under the base plate is securely tightened before using the foam cutter. If angled cuts need to be
made, the base plate can be detached by removing the screw.
• For the best cut, start cutting into the foam slowly for the first half inch. Let the Blade cut at its own speed, without forcing it.
• Variable speed adjustments can be made using the speed dial on the top of the tool for best cutting results. Most foam cuts best at a
speed of 2 or 3.
• When working with dense foam, apply pressure to the foam with your free hand as you cut for best results.
• To aid in cutting, spray the outside of the blade guard with a silicone spray. This enables the foam to easily slip past the blades.
Silicone spray can be used as often as needed.
• Note: The Sailrite Blade, like most foam cutters, is made from a modified jigsaw. Therefore, the vent at the back and the lever on the
side of the tool serve no purpose.
