PS 160 Safety Warnings – Operating
Instructions
This tool should always be used with the dust hose
connected and attached to a suitable vacuum
cleaner/dust extractor.
Setting the Cutting Depth
a) The depth of cut can be set by turning the depth
control knob. (Diagram A)
b) When cutting wood the depth of cut should be set to
slightly greater than the thickness of the material for
best results.
c) When cutting plastics the depth of cut should be set
to slightly greater than the thickness of the material.
If melting occurs a greater depth setting will improve
results.
d) When cutting metals the depth of cut should be set
to approximately 1/32” greater than the material
thickness for best results.
If it is desirable not to mark the surface beneath the
workpiece, the depth can be set to the same as the
material thickness, when cutting wood or plastics, but
this may result in a rough edge.
NOTE: If the depth control knob becomes difficult
to turn, unscrew it until the rubber seal can be
seen. Clean the surrounding area with a soft brush
and then apply a very small quantity of synthetic
grease to the seal.
Blade Changing
NOTE: Incorrect positioning of the blade can
permanently damage the tool.
a) Ensure the tool is unplugged from the power supply.
b) Unscrew the depth adjuster until the number ½” is
visible.
a) Without removing the guard insert the U key into the blade
shaft to lock it. (Diagram B ) Slide off the removable
