towards the handle and then pull backwards.
Guard Lock
1. Place the tool at the start of the cut.
2. Switch on the tool in accordance with the instruction manual. Next release the guard lock.
(Diagram G) Then plunge the saw blade to start the cut. The guard lock is released by push-
ing in the direction of the arrow in the diagram. Either the hand holding the tool or work
piece can be used, whichever is easier.
3. After the cut has been finished and the tool switched off, ensure the guard lock has fully
returned to its resting position. If not clean thoroughly with a soft brush.
Cutting
Exakt Saws are unique because they clamp the material to be cut between its base plate and
the work surface using a plunge action to ease the blade into the cut. This results in a faster,
easier and cleaner cut.
NB. Always cut in a forward direction. Never draw the tool backwards. If you are a novice user,
practice by cutting thin wood until proficient.
1. Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the material to be cut.
2. Fit the correct blade ensuring it is sharp and not damaged.
3. Set the depth of cut. (See Setting the Cutting Depth Section)
4. Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench, table or floor. Use a
piece of scrap material underneath if:
• You do not wish to mark the work surface.
• The work surface is likely to damage the blade. E.g. a concrete floor.
5. Connect the battery
6. Grasp the tool firmly (See Holding & Switching on Section) and rest its metal base plate
onto the surface to be cut. Ensure that the rear half of the base plate overhangs the work
surface. Do not plunge the blade into the material.
7. Switch on the tool and wait for one second for the blade to run up to speed. Next, depress
the guard lock lever and plunge the blade into the material slowly and gently, but firmly.
Then push the tool forwards along the line to be cut. (Never draw the tool backwards)
8. Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. Excess force will cause opera-
tor fatigue and excessive wear to the blade and tool. Excess force is also likely to cause the
temperature cut-out to trip, resulting in delays.
9. Ensure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is particularly
important at the start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the base plate is
not fully supported.
10. Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If
a lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to
clear from within the tool.
