Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest
the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool
forward along the previously marked cutting line.
NOTE:
• If the tool is operated continuously until the
battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool
to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.
When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly.

Bevel cutting

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before tilting
the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the bevel slot in the base.
