To loosen the tension of the blade, turn the top tension knob
counter clockwise (A) and the tension indicator (B) will lower.
To tighten the tension of the blade, turn the tension knob
clockwise, and the tension indicator will rise. (See Fig.27)
1. The blade cuts on a continuous downstroke.
2. With both hands, firmly hold the workpiece down on the table, and feed it towards the blade slowly,
keeping your hands away from the blade.
3. For best results the blade must be sharp. A dull blade will not cut correctly, especially when
straight cutting, and causes excess pressure to be applied on the rear guide bearings.
4. Select the right blade for the job, depending on the thickness of the wood and the cut to be
made. The thinner and harder the wood, the finer the teeth of the blade. Use a fine tooth blade
for cutting sharp curves.
5. The machine is especially suited for cutting curves, but will also make straight cuts.
6. When cutting, follow the design marked out by pushing and turning the workpiece evenly.
7. Do not attempt to turn the workpiece without pushing it, as this may cause the workpiece to get
stuck, or the blade to twist and bend.
8. For straight cuts, use the optional rip fence to feed the workpiece along the blade slowly and in
a straight line.
CAUTION! BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK, DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE (WALL SOCKET). NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. USE A BRUSH.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE WILL PREVENT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS.
1. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
2. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and
prevent excessive wear.
3. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
4. Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust.
