Use And Care Manual

STARTING A CUT
• Slide the switch to ON to start the saw. Always let the blades reach full speed
before you begin to cut into the work piece.
• Apply steady and even pressure when making a cut. Forcing the saw causes
rough cuts and could shorten the life of the saw or cause kickback.
• Make sure both blades enter into the material at the same me; otherwise,
unexpected kickback may result, risking serious injury.
HOW TO ADJUST THE FEED SPEED
• Feed speed is extremely important to get proper results from the saw. Feed
speed is determined by the hardness and the thickness of the material you
plan to cut. Feed speed is dened by how quickly you push the saw blades
through the material.
• Feed (for thin materials) the blades down with the teeth protruding only
10-12 mm, then move forward (or backward) for cung.
• Feeding must be parallel to the blade. Feeding at an angle can burn the blade
and damage the teeth.
OPERATION
CAUTION!
Maintain control of the saw to make sawing safer and easier. Loss
of control of the saw could cause an accident resulting in possible
serious injury.
CAUTION!
• If the feed speed is too slow, the blades will only press down the
material rather than cutting it. The blade edges glide and wear down
the material. This will cause a poor cut and will cause excessive wear
on the blades.
• If the feed speed is fast there is a definite risk that the cut might
split. The splinter will get bigger and bigger and eventually break
risking serious personal injury.
• If the feed speed is too high there is a risk that the cut might split
and the splinter opening’s volume will not be sufficient to divert all
the shaving. The result is a poor cut with significant discharge on the
lower side of the material.
