When cutting wood or plastic, the depth of the cut can be set to be slightly less

than the thickness of the material to avoid marking

the work surface, but this may result in a rough

edge on the other side of the workpiece. To cut

harder materials, different blades than the ones

included with the Saw must be purchased.

The Depth Board () is ruled in millimeters; loosen

the Depth Knob (4) and move it to the correct

depth setting for the material being cut. For most

materials, the depth gauge should be set about

1mm greater than the thickness of the material.

note. When storing the Saw, the Depth Knob should be

secured all the way down for increased safety.

Connect the small end of the Dust Hose (47) to the port behind the Blade.

Connect the large end of the Dust Hose to a dust collector or an industrial

strength wet/dry vacuum (neither included).
