MAKE A FEW PRACTICE CUTS
After installing the bit into the tool and adjusting your depth
guide, you should make a few practice cuts with the tool before
attempting an actual job. A few exercises will give you the
necessary practice to make clean, professional cuts.
Step 1: Make certain that the collet nut is securely tightened
before turning the tool on.
Step 2: Hold the tool firmly and turn the tool ON to your desired
speed.
Step 3: While holding the tool firmly, insert the bit into the
material at a 45° angle, or 15° for tile (Fig. 11).
Step 4: Slowly plunge the bit to a 90° angle to begin the cut
(Fig. 12). The base guide should be flush to the material
surface. For all materials except when cutting around
outlet boxes in drywall, steer the tool in a clockwise
direction with slow, steady pressure to make the cut.
Step 5: After completing your cut, turn off the tool and carefully
remove it from the material. Do not attempt to use this
tool to make cut-outs around any fixture or opening
which has live electrical wires, or any wall which may
have live electrical wiring behind it, as the bit could
conduct current to the tool, creating an electrocution
hazard for the operator. Shut off breakers or remove
fuses to disconnect the circuit. Always hold the tool
by its thermoplastic housing, and always wear eye
protection when operating the tool.
NOTE: Because of the rotating cutting action of the bit, there will
be a slight pull when cutting. The slower you cut the more control
you have. Excessive pressure or fast cutting will cause excessive
heat and may shorten the life of the bit.
NOTE: When cutting on a vertical surface, avoid ending your cut
at the bottom of the hole. If possible, start and end your cut at
the top so the scrap part will not drop onto the rotating bit. Turn
the tool off and remove it from the material.
USING THE STRAIGHT EDGE/CIRCLE GUIDE
STRAIGHT EDGE
The straight edge guide (optional) is used for cuts parallel to the
edge of the work, and can be used from either side of the base
plate for cutting on the left or right side of the material.
1. Unscrew the base plate thumbscrew; slide the sliding rod
of the straight edge guide through the two notches on the
bottom side of the base plate.
2. Position the tool to the desired length from the edge of your
material. Tighten the thumbscrew (P) to secure the straight
edge guide to the base plate (Fig. 13).
CUTTING LARGE DIAMETER CIRCLES (10 CM DIAMETER)
1. Draw the circle on the work piece and mark the centre of the
circle. Drill a centre hole with the tracer. Make sure the edge
guide is facing UP (Fig. 14).
2. Using the tool, plunge cut a pilot hole on the edge of the circle,
turn tool off and disconnect the plug from power source.
a. To make a hole – cut from inside edge of the circle
b. To make wheels or discs – cut from the outside edge of
the circle
3. Attach straight edge guide to base plate, properly
position base onto straight edge guide to give the desired
circle diameter and lock down by tightening base plate
thumbscrew.
4. Insert plug into power source, hold the tool firmly, turn tool
on and slowly push the tool forward.
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorised personnel
may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service
