TRANSPORT

Always re-engage the Safety Lock pin and secure the extended handle in the down position while storing, carrying, or transporting your cutter.

CUTTING GUIDE

The Marksman is designed to cut a variety of materials. Some of the most common materials are Engineered Hardwood Flooring (up to 1⁄2" / 12 mm thick and 1250 Janka—ONLY cut by flipping material over with the back facing up), laminate flooring, LVT/LVP/VCT, PVC, rubber tile, cover base, WPC/SPC/MLF, and rigid core.

Note: DO NOT attempt to cut any solid wood or high-pressure laminate. Additionally, do not cut engineered hardwood with a Janka Hardness Rating higher than 1250, and do not cut engineered hardwood with a Janka Hardness Rating lower than 1250 without first flipping over the material and cutting with the back facing up.

Note: Even the approved materials may vary greatly in density and hardness. If extreme force is required to cut a material stop immediately, as it could lead to damage to your cutter or injury. Attempting to cut unapproved materials will void the warranty.

45 DEGREE CUTS

Firmly lift the friction-fit fence to remove it from the table and press back down in the appropriate 45-degree position.

NOTE: This image is for the Marksman. Your cutter may look slightly different.

FLOPPY MATERIALS

When cutting floppy materials, flip the anvil: Remove anvil and blade-stop using a 4 mm or 5⁄32" hex key. Reinstall with flat side up instead of bevel. This makes fibrous and floppy materials (examples: cove base, thin vinyl plank) cut more easily.

For Kevlar® fiber reinforced materials (example: rubber belting), put flat side of anvil up above, but also remove plastic blade-stop.

DOUBLE CUTTING

Most materials cutter very well with just one cut. However, some brands of fiber cement siding and other products may require cutting twice to produce a better cut. Simply make your first cut 1⁄8" to 1⁄4" (3 to 6 mm) longer than your mark, then go back and make your second cut on your mark. This is very useful to create a cleaner cut when a trim molding or transition cannot be used to cover your cut end.

MAINTENANCE

Honing the Blade

Push the handle down until the blade 1⁄8" (3 mm) above the tabletop. Place the provided Hone Stone against the flat side of the blade. Slide the honing stone from one end of the blade to the other 3-4 times. This will remove any burrs from your blade.

When you first get your cutter, you should hone after your 5th cut, then hone your blade every 10th cut for the first 100 cuts until your blade is broken in. From there, you only need to hone once per job. Use caution when honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily cause injury. Cut-resistant gloves are recommended when honing the blade.

Sharpening the Blade

The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-sided, 21° – 22° knife edge. It is important to note that the blade must be sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat. We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally, as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.

Replacing the Blade

Blade is extremely sharp! Use cut-resistant gloves when replacing the blade.

1. TURN Cutter UPSIDE DOWN
   Tip: put the cutter on the edge of a sturdy table.
2. LOOSEN BLADE Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws.
   
3. REMOVE BLADE Hold blade by each end and carefully lift out of pocket.
4. INSTALL BLADE Hold blade by each end and carefully place into the blade pocket in the head, with the flat side of the blade facing the table. Be sure that it is firmly seated, and the pocket is clear of debris.
5. TIGHTEN THE BLADE Using a Phillips screwdriver, replace & tighten the screws, starting with the center screw.
   

NOTE: This image is for the SharpShooter 2.0. Your cutter may look slightly different.

Lubrication

After every 100 cuts, it is recommended that the cutter be lubricated. Use a light oil and grease (wheel bearing grease) and apply according to the image below. Lubricating the cutter will extend the life of the cutter and result in easier cutting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before troubleshooting double-check the manual:

• Is your cutter properly assembled?
• Is it being operated correctly?
• Is it properly lubricated?
• Has the blade been honed as recommended?

Visually inspect cutter, watching for objects that might obstruct the blade or powerhead travel:

• Foreign material presence between the blade and anvil, in the pin springs or under the cam.
• Check your blade for chips, cracks or burrs.
• Make sure bearings are intact and lubricated. They should not be spinning/moving on the cam during use.

NOTE: This troubleshooting is for all Bullet™ cutters. If you are uncertain if it pertains to your cutter, please contact MARSHALLTOWN customer service.
