CUTTING

CAUTION: on lithium-ion battery
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the causes
of overloading.
CAUTION:
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or
excessive wear on the Plunger, please make sure
to have surface of the base plate attached to the
work piece while sawing.
At low speed do not cut a wood with a thickness
of more than 3/8" (10 mm) or metal with a
thickness of more than 1/32" (1 mm).
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, first draw a
marking gauge line and advance the saw along
that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will
make it possible to cut accurately on a straight line.
(1) Loosen the base bolt by allen wrench attached on
base. (Fig. 16)
(2) Move the base fully forward (Fig. 17), and tighten
the base bolt again.
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the
attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5
bolt. (Fig. 18)
(4) Set the orbital position to "0".
