You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in
cut if you carefully do as follows.
(1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base
with the blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface.
(2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front
edge of the base will not move when you
switch on the tool and gently lower the back
end of the tool slowly.
(3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the
workpiece surface.
(4) Complete the cut in the normal manner.

To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
blade lightly along the cut edges.
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead
of using a coolant.
Rip fence set (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing
accessories.
1. Straight cuts
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm (6-5/16") or
less, use of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight
cuts. To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular
hole on the side of the tool base with the fence guide
facing down. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting
width position, then tighten the bolt to secure it.

When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm (6-11/16") or less
in radius, install the rip fence as follows.
Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the

Insert the circular guide pin through either of the
two holes on the fence guide. Screw the threaded

and tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then
