ENGLISH
Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces
u
blade life and causes costly blade damage.
Use your free hand to roll material to be
u
dicarded out of the way as cutting progresses
(fig. B)
Warning! Sheet metal edges can be razor sharp
and extreme caution must be used when working
with this material. Always wear gloves while work-
ing with sheet metal.
Hints for optimum use
Lightly place blade against work to be cut.
u
Always hold cutter firmly while cutting.
u
Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is
u
firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner,
u
faster and put less strain on the motor while
cutting
When cutting materials with adhesive backing
u
(vinyl floor tile, etc.) periodically clean blades;
adhesive residue will build up on blades reduc-
ing the quality of cut and strain the motor.
When cutting carpet or other fibrous materials
u
periodically clean fibers out from in between
the blades; built up fibers will reduce the shear-
ing action thereby reducing the quality of cut
and strain the motor.

(Original instructions)
When cutting stiffer materials such as sheet
u
metal, vinyl, etc, use free hand to either work
material up over the unit or roll material to be
discarded out of the way as cutting progresses.
When cutting curves, do not tilt the tool; keep
u
the blades perpendicular to the work piece.
Advance blades into the material without
u
forced effort or unnecessary pressure. A little
practice will enable you to determine what for-
ward pressure gives you the smoothest cutting.
