10. Splinter guard (Sold separately)
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood
materials will reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base,
and push it completely. (see Fig. 7)
11. Sub base (Sold separately)
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce
abrasion of aluminium base especially in cutting
metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce
scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub base to
the bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
CUTTING
CAUTION:
● In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage
or excessive wear on the Plunger, please
make sure to have surface of the base plate
attached to the work piece while sawing.
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, fi rst draw a
marking gauge line and advance the saw along
that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will
make it possible to cut accurately on a straight
line.
(1) Loosen the base bolt allen wrench attached on
base. (Fig. 8)
(2) Move the base fully forward (Fig. 9), and tighten
the base bolt again.
(3) Attach the guide by passing it through the
attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5
bolt. (Fig. 10)
(4) Set the orbital position to “0”.
NOTE: To ensure accurate cutting when using the
Guide (Fig. 8), always set the orbital position
to “0”.
2. Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the
feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is
fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.
3. Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.
After attaching the guide by same way noted as
above, drive the nail or screw into the material
through the hole on the guide, then use it for a
axis when cutting. (Fig. 11)
NOTE: Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface
of the base.
