OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently.
Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the
motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe
injury.
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to
be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the
tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply
move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing slowly until the sawing is completed. To
get clear cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed
of advancing uniform.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight
cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of
the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the
front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform
width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only iden-
tical carbon brushes.
