Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the
base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool for-
ward along the previously marked cutting line.
When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly.
Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the bevel slot in the base.

Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.

in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start
your cut.
B) Plunge cutting:
