Blade storage (fig.E)
A blade storage compartment (11) is built-in to the side of the saw.
To open the storage door:
- Grasp the tab at the top of the door and pull outward.
The blades are held in place by a magnet.
- To release a blade, press down on one end to raise the other for access.
CAUTION: Close door securely before operating saw.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to
the shoe plate.
- Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
- Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
- To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the
workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
- Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.
- Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
- When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece
and cut through this sandwich.
- Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for easier operation and longer blade
life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
WARNING: Fire Hazard. Do not use vacuum adapter when cutting metal. Metal
filings will be hot and may cause a fire.
RIP & CIRCLE CUTTING
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the rip fence and circle
guide (available at extra cost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position as shown in figure F and
thread the screw into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar is at the
desired radius and tighten screw. Place saw so that hole in cross bar is over center of circle
to be cut (drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into position).
When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar. Using rip
fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up, as
shown in Figure F.
When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the cross
bar at desired distance from blade and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be
down and against the straight edge of the workpiece as shown in Figure G.
