Cutting Difficult Materials and Materials that Create a Lot of Dust
Before trying to cut difficult materials, you should familiarize yourself with how the tool works
by cutting wood. To cut hard materials like metal and some plastics, more pressure has to be
applied from above.
WARNING! Never cut a material that generates dust or dangerous fumes when working,
such as some plastics and materials that contain asbestos.
Sheet Metal
a) Adjust the cutting depth so it is at least 1 mm greater than the thickness of the material.
Always place scrap material under the work piece.
b) Eliminate any deep scratches and rusty areas from the surface of the material,
since they make it much more difficult to move the tool forward.
c) After every 2 minutes spent cutting metal, you should stop for at least a 3-minute break
to let the tool cool down.
Recommendation: Use suitable cutting fluid if necessary.
Floor tiles, slate and similar materials
a) Always use the right cutting blades for this job.
b) Always connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor. The dust generated during cutting can
be hazardous to the health and clog the blade guard.
c) Place adhesive or duct tape on the base plate to facilitate cutting and prevent any scratching.
Drywall
a) This tool can be used to cut sheets of drywall but with certain limitations. Use it only to make
cuts and always connect it to a dust extraction device while you are working. The dust can affect
how the blade guard works.
Setting the cutting depth
1. Loosen the adjustment lever (3).
2. Adjust the cutting depth according to the scale (7) and tighten the adjustment lever (3).
3. For wood and plastics, the cutting depth should be selected to be a little deeper than the
material thickness.
4. A wood underlay can be used to achieve a better cutting quality. The wood underlay will,
however, be damaged.
Using the laser (The Laser is a accessory that can be purchase by contacting Rotorazer)
Using the laser beam-guide makes sawing in a straight line much easier.
a. Either along a drawn line
b. Or by aligning the beam to a marked point
To switch the laser (10) on, press the laser ON/OFF switch (13)
To switch the laser (10) off, press the laser ON/OFF switch (13) again
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WARNING
Remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning or doing maintenance work on the tool.
Cleaning
a) Keep protectors, ventilation holes and the motor body as free of dust and dirt as possible.
b) Wipe the tool with a clean cloth or use low-pressure compressed air.
c) Clean the tool immediately after each use.
d) Do not use any cleaning products or solvents that could damage the plastic parts.
Make sure water does not get inside the tool.
Storage
When the tool is not in use, place it in the storage case and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place
out of reach of children, such as a high cupboard or a closed space.
