BLADE GUARD WITH V PROFILE
See page 10 for dismounting the blade guard. The V-shape in the blade guard gives a firm hold to round
tubes, allowing them to be cut properly. Is the tube diameter too big to be cut at once you can rotate
the tube while cutting.
CUTTING (WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE) (see Fig. 9 and 10)
!
WARNING: Always use two hands on the tool when cutting. This will
make operation of the tool easier and promote maximum safety.
1.
Install appropriate cutting blade in the tool.
2.
Adjust cutting depth as outlined on Page 11.
3.
Plug the tool cord into the power source. NOTE: The green "power on"
light (1) on the right hand side of the tool will illuminate when power
is "live".
4. Place leading edge of the blade guard (2) on the workpiece to be cut.
5.
Grasp the tool with two hands. Place your right hand on
the body of the tool (3) being careful not to cover the motor
vents (4). Place your left hand on the forward part of the
tool (5) so your thumb can operate the blade guard re-
lease button (6).
6. Line up front cut line indicator (7) with the cutting line
marked on the workpiece (8). NOTE: Do not place the blade
guard too far forward on the workpiece. This is important
to avoid the blade touching the workpiece when the blade
guard is raised to expose the blade as outlined in in-
struction Fig. 5.
7.
Turn switch ON as outlined on Page 12. NOTE: Do not pro-
ceed any further until the blade is running at full speed.
8. Using the thumb on your left hand, press the blade guard release button (6).
9. Gently press downward on the front of the tool to raise the blade guard until it touches the depth
control stop (9).
10. Re-check the alignment of the front cut line indicator (7) and the cutting line marked on the work-
piece (8).
11. Slowly move the tool forward until the blade touches the workpiece and begins to cut at the cut-
ting line. NOTE: Feed the blade into the workpiece at a slow steady pace. Do not force the tool so the
motor slows down. The red "overload" light (10) will illuminate if the motor is being overloaded. The
blade will cut faster and cleaner when turning at full speed.
!
WARNING: Never try to cut a curve. This tool is designed only for straight line cuts. Attempting to
cut curves will damage the blade, make rough cuts and possible break the blade. Serious injury may
result.
When the cut is completed, release the ON/OFF switch and wait for the blade to come to a complete
stop before removing the tool from the workpiece.
!
WARNING: Make sure the blade guard returns to its normal position covering the blade before
taking your hands off the tool.
