REX MANTIS 120A, Operation Manual

・

Always perform contour cutting on level ground and in a 
stable position. If  contour cutting is  done with  the machine 
tilted or in an unstable position, the frame may topple 
during operation, resulting in accident or injury.

.

・

Do not wear gloves while operating the unit. T hey may 
become caught in the moving parts, leading to accident 
or injury.

・

Do not perform contour cutting on round workpieces. 

The workpiece may turn during the cutting operation, 
resulting in accident or injury.

・

When performing contour cutting, make sure the 
workpiece is supported securely with both ends of the 
workpiece at least 10cm from the blade. If the workpiece 
is too close, it may get caught in the blade, resulting in 
accident or injury.

WARNING

(Figs. 32 - 34)

Other  Uses

This tool can be used for contour cutting. Use the following 
procedure to perform contour cutting, while observing the 
warnings noted below

.

(1)   Pull the stopper pin ring to the left of the motor, while 

simultaneously grasping the handle and lifting the frame so it 
is vertical. (Figs. 32 & 33)

(2)   Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The blade will 

start rotating.

( 3)   Place the workpiece on a contour table and cut it 

slowly. ( F ig. 34)

Notes:

・

Cut particularly slowly when cutting inward or downward.

・

When cutting downward, press the blade against the 
workpiece with less force and make sure your body does not 
lunge forward.

(4)   When cutting is complete, immediately turn the ON/OFF 

switch to the "OFF" position. If you are not going to continue 
to use the unit, remove the power plug from the outlet as a 
fail-safe procedure.

(5)   Pull the stopper pin, while simultaneously grasping the 

handle and lowering the frame. 

This will return the unit to the 

normal cutting position.

Notes:

・

The blade is for straight line cutting only

. It cannot be used 

for curved cutting. Forcing the blade to cut in a curve 
may chip it or make it able to cut only in a curve.
 

・

Blades used for contour cutting tend to become able to cut 
only in a curve. To perform normal cutting, replace the blade 
with a new one.

Pull stopper pin and 
simultaneously turn 90
