Bevel cutting With the base tilted,. vou can make bevel , cuts a t any angle between 0" and 45" (left or right). Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench, and slide the base backwards. Tilt the base to the desired angle. The edge of the housing indicates the bevel angle. Then check for contact between the back edge of the blade and the roller. Now tighten the bolt securely on the back of the base.
Plunge cutting Starting a cut a t other than the edge of the workpiece without first drilling a starting hole requires a "plunge cut". This can be accomplished by tipping the tool forward until the front end of the base rests against the workpiece. Switch the tool on and lower the back end of the tool slowly, gradually allowing the blade to saw through the workpiece until the base is able to s i t flat on the workpiece. You may then proceed forward with the cut in a normal manner.
To attach the guide rule (rip fence), use the hex wrench to loosen the bolt on the base in front, slip in the guide rule and secure the bolt. Using circular guide (optional accessory) Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth cutting of circles (radius; under 200 mm; 7-7/8") and arcs. To attach the circular guide, use the pin, inserting it in the center hole (arrow) and secure it with the threaded knob. Then slide the base of the tool forwards.
Metal cutting Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will cause significant biade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant.
