Use and Care Manual

CUTTING METAL

It is recommended to start with cutting wood to become familiarized with your tool before attempting to cut

tougher materials such as metal and some plastics as they require more pressure.

Make sure to install the metal blade for metal cutting operations (see page 10). Before cutting metal, remove burrs

and rust from the metal workpiece to avoid impeding the blade feed across the material. Apply thick beeswax

(furniture polish) to the underside of the base plate to make metal cutting easier.

WARNING: Wear work gloves and safety goggles to protect your eyes and hands from sparks and

metal chips. Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by letting your saw rest for at least 3

minutes.

CUTTING CERAMIC TILES

Install the diamond blade (see page 10) for tile cutting. Make sure to connect the tool to a dust collector as ceram-

ic dust can be hazardous to your health and clog the blade guard. Place duct tape on the base plate to prevent any

scratching on the work surface.

OPERATION

OPERATING THE SAW

1. Hold the tool firmly in your right hand with your thumb on the blade release switch and your fingers in the

grooves of the power switch. Stand to the left side of the saw.

2. Set the front portion of the base plate onto

the workpiece. Position the base plate with

its right side resting on the larger section of

board that DOES NOT fall off when being

cut. Align the cutting guide indicator (see page

6) with the cutting guideline marked on the

workpiece (Fig. 11). Ensure that the blade is

NOT in contact with the workpiece.

3. Pull the power switch back with your fingers

to turn on the saw. Wait three seconds to al-

low the blade to reach full speed.

4. Make sure that the base plate is stable on

the workpiece; this is very important especial-

ly during the start or finish of a cut. Push the

blade release switch forward with your thumb to lower the saw blade. Slowly push the blade into the workpiece.

5. Gently push the saw forward along the cutting guideline while keeping the base plate flat against the workpiece

surface. Do not force the saw forward too quickly in order to try and hurry up the process. Let the tool work at its

own pace. Never pull the saw backwards while cutting.

6. Let the saw blade run through the entire cut, then lift the tool from the work surface and then release the power

switch and blade release switch. Disconnect the saw from the power source.
