Product Manual

Ratchet Latch
The unique 'Ratchet Latch', enables thick dense materials (such as PVC foam board) to
be cut easily in stages. Count the number of 'clicks' to position the blade just below the
surface of the material to make your first cut then add an extra 'click' for the second and
subsequent cuts.
1. Pull down the Ratchet Release Lever to disengage the ratchet if required.
As a rough guide when cutting PVC foam boards:-
Using the Blade Support Plates
The two support plates either side of the blade are designed to give maximum rigidity of
the blade when cutting hard or dense materials.
To adjust the support plates swing down the cutter guard by undoing the guard locking
knob.
2. Turn the turret 1/2 turn until blade is pointing towards you, unlock the blade clamping
screw, the support plates can be adjusted by sliding the black pin in the slot. Move
the plates to suit the material.
For cutting most materials the support plates can be set about 12mm (1/2 ”) from the
blade tip.
