Adjusting the blade clearance (Fig. 2 & 3)
Adjust the clearance between the side blade and the
center blade according to the thickness of the workpiece.
First use a hex wrench to loosen the screw.
Then use the hex wrench to adjust the clearance by tight-
ening or loosening the bolt. There may be a slight differ-
ence between clearances of both sides of the center
blade.
Check the smaller clearance with the thickness gauge
and adjust it.
When using the thickness gauge to adjust the blade
clearance, refer to the table.

Lubrication (Fig. 5)
Before operation, lubricate the contact point of the center
blade and the pin. To keep good cutting performance,
also use a cutting lubricant from time to time during oper-
ation.

Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing. Do
not touch the metal part.
Turn the tool on and set front ends of the side blades on
the workpiece. Now simply move the tool forward, keep-
ing the side blades flush with the workpiece surface.

• When cutting a small portion of the workpiece, you may
have difficulty completing the end of the cut. In that
case, try to cut it again, pulling the workpiece back
slightly.
