CAUTION:
• Always hold the base flush with the workpiece. Fail-
ure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in
a serious injury.
• Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or
scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted cut-
ting surface and blade breakage.
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 for-
ward along the previously marked cutting line.
Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before tilting the base.
• Raise the dust cover all the way before making
bevel cuts.
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 cross-shaped slot in the base.
