once a year.

MAINTENANCE

STARTING

In cases of small circle or arc cutting, use a lower cutting speed 

than for ordinary straight cutting.

ARC CUTTING

To cut in the center of a board, rest the base of the tool on the 

board as shown in fig. 7, so that the blade does not touch it. Then 

turn the switch on and slowly lower the moving blade against the 

board.
For materials other than wood, a starting hole must be drilled first.

1. Loosen the hex. socket head bolt (8) at the bottom of the base

    plate (9) by using the hex. key wrench (6). 
2. Align the bottom line of the housing to the angle scale (10) on 

    the base plate, and then fasten the hex. socket head bolt firmly. 
    Bevel cutting of 0 - 45° can be achieved easily.

CENTER CUTTING

BEVEL CUTTING (Fig. 5, 6)

NOTE: Too much pressure may break the blade when cutting 

in a circular motion.
