Dust extraction
An adaptor is required to connect a vacuum cleaner or dust
extractor to the tool.
Insert the dust extraction adaptor into the saw dust outlet
(9).
Connect the vacuum cleaner hose to the adaptor.
Hints for optimum use
Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the
workpiece material and type of cut.
Always hold the tool with both hands.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides,
near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel being
cut.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg.
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform using clamps. It
is important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
