Guide Plate with Rollers
The foam rubber cutter can be used with or without
the footplate 6. The footplate, furnished with rollers
16, allows the cutter to be guided in an easy and
straigt manner. Take care that there are no ob-
structions on the surface being cut.
In order to make freeform cuts and to make cutouts,
the footplate can be removed.

Unscrew the clamping screw 15. Pull the footplate 6
from the saw blade guide 5.
Cutting
Work with a moderate rate of feed when you want to
make precise cuts, especially in the case of soft foams
and similar materials. Do not stretch and press the ma-
terial too strongly during cutting.
Note that too high a feed rate reduces the output ca-
pacity substantially and shortens the life of the saw
blades. Sharp tool bits provide good cutting power
and protect the tool.
When you want to make cutouts, remove the footplate
6 (see Removing the Footplate). Use a knife or a pair
of scissors to pierce a hole in the cutout to be made,
so that you can plunge in the saw blade guide. Make
the cutout with a moderate rate of feed.
Use only saw blades and saw blade guides that
are appropriate for the thickness of the material.
Only in this way can you achieve exact cuts.
Be sure to use the same length of saw blades
with the same matching saw blade guide. For ex-
ample, a saw blade set with a maximum cutting depth
capacity of 70 mm (2–3/4") can ONLY be installed in
a saw blade guide of 70 mm (2–3/4").
Changing the Saw Blades
When removing a saw blade, avoid contact with
skin and use proper protective gloves when
grasping the blade or accessory. Saw blades and
accessories may become hot during prolonged use.

Pull the saw blades 7 first out of the catch pins 13 be-
tween the drive blocks and then out of the saw blade
guide 5 at the guide pin 12.
Replace the saw blades with new, flawless saw blades
of the same size (see Installing the Saw Blades). If you
want to cut a different thickness of material, you also
have to change the saw blade guide.
Changing the Saw Blade Guide
Unscrew the slotted screws 10 from the housing 3.
Replace the saw blade guide 5 with a different one and
attach the new saw blade guide to the housing (see In-
stalling the Saw Blade Guide).
