Working With the Machine

• Always switch on the machine before offering up
to the workpiece.
• Guide the machine so that the blade (7) in the
cutting base is parallel with the workpiece.
• Guide the machine forwards without using
excessive force.
• When cutting to the edge of sheet material
(particularly when cutting along a scribe line),
guide the machine so that the cutting base (10) is
positioned on top (i.e. the machine upright with
the blade in the ram below the workpiece).
8. Maintenance
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
