PRACTICE CUTS USING FREEHAND SOLE PLATE
Before attempting to work on an actual project, take the
time to make a few precise cuts with your cutting tool.
Use some scraps of moledal that are the same material as
used in your actual project.
1.
Draw a pattern similar to your first project on a scrap
piece of material.
2.
Install freehand sole plate as shown in Fig. 4.
3. Installcutting bit in the collolas shownin Fig.2.
4.
Adjust depth of freehand sole plate as shown in Rg. 5.
5,
Rest the edge of the sole plate on the workpiece with
the bit at an angle of about 45 ° (see Rg. 6),
NOTE: DO NOT let the bit contact the workplece until
switch is turned ON and the tool is up to full speed.
JA WARNING

When the motor is up to full speed, slowly tip the tool
to an upright position, le_ng the bit cut into the
work.piece (see Fig. 7). Once the tool has roached the
updght position and the bit has cut through the
workpiece, slowly move the tod in a clockwise
direction using slow steady pressure to make the cut.
NOTE: Except for cutting around outlet boxes in
drywall, always cut in a clockwise direction.
9.
When cut is complete, turn the tool OFF, wait until it
comes to a complete stop and remove it from the
workpiece,

TIPS
The rotating cutting action of the bit will cause a slight pull
to the left when cutting. Natural variations in the structure
of wood will cause the bit to "wander'. This tendency will
be magnified when applying too much pressure to the bit,
_ower cutting givoa you better control. Excessive
pressure or fast cuffing will increase bit temperature and
shorten _
life ofthe bit.
When cutting a hole in e vertical surface, avoid ending the
cut at the bottom Of the hole. Always start and end the cut
at the "top" so the cut.out part will not drop onto the
rotating bit. Always turn the tool OFF before removing it
from the workpiece.
