ridge.
ƒ To avoid a tearing out of the cutting edges when working sensitive area
(if the surface is very smooth crepe tape also enables easy drawing of
line), fixing a thin board of wood to the workpiece and sawing through
both will also avoid tearing out effectively.
ADJUSTING FOR ACCURACY OF 90º CUT (VERTICAL)
This adjustment has been made by the manufacturer. But if it is off, adjust the
adjusting screw with a screwdriver while squaring the blade with the base
triangular rule, try-square, etc.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut and bevel angle, be sure to tighten the screw.
Sighting
ƒ The front of the base is notched to provide accurate guidance.
ƒ For straight cuts, align the edge 0° engraved on it with your cutting line
on the workpiece.
ƒ For 45° bevel cuts, align the edge with 45° engraved on it with your
cutting line.
ON/OFF Switch Action
CAUTION:
ƒ Before inserting the battery into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and return to the “OFF” position when
released.
ƒ To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off
button is provided.
ƒ To start the tool, press the left of the lock-off button and pull the switch
trigger, release the switch trigger to stop.
OPERATION
ƒ Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the work piece to be cut
without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool ON and wait
until the blade attains full speed.
ƒ Now simply move the tool forward over the work piece surface,
keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is complete. To
get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of
advance uniform.
CAUTION:
ƒ Always gently keep the tool moving straight ahead when cutting.
Forcing or twist the tool will result in overheating of motor and
dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
ƒ If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has
discharged, allow the tool to rest for 30 minutes before proceeding with
a fresh battery.
GUIDE RULE
The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide
the guide rule up snugly against the side of the work piece and secure it in
position with the clamp screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated
uniform cuts possible.
MAINTANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery cartridge is
removed 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 holder.
