accurate cut.
MaKING RIP CUTS (See Fig. M)
Always use a guide when making long rip
cuts with your saw. You can use any suitable
straight edge clamped to the work or the
parallel guide that is included with your saw.
2. POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MaTERIaLS
ONLY) (See Fig. N)
this operation requires much skill with a saw
and must only be carried out by a qualified
person.
Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth
of cut on the saw (See Fig. H1). tilt the saw
over the marked area with the front edge of
the base plate resting on the work surface and
the back edge lifted above the work surface.
the cutting guide should be aligned with the
line you have marked on your workpiece.
With the saw still in the tilted position, apply
pressure to the base plate so that the saw
blade is fully exposed through the blade slot
in the base plate (according to the depth of
14
cut you have set). Ensure the blade is not
touching but is close to the work surface.
Hold the saw firmly while applying the least
amount of pressure as possible on base plate.
to avoid kickback, you should hold the tool
firmly before switching on the saw. Switch
the saw on, wait for it to reach full speed, and
gently guide the blade down into the material
but maintain a pivoting force on the front
edge of the base. Watch your cutting line by
carefully looking through the front end of the
blade slot.
DO NOT bind the blade in the cut; push the
saw blade forward at a rate where the blade is
not laboring.
When the cut is complete, release the trigger
safety release and switch and let the blade
come to a complete stop. DO NOT REMOvE
the saw and blade from the workpiece while
the blade is moving. this could damage your
cut (kerf), cause kickback and loss of control,
resulting in injury.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
TOOL
If your Versacut becomes too hot, please
tM
run your Versacut no load for 2-3 minutes to
tM
cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage under
strenuous cutting loads.
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Excessive feed significantly reduces the
performance capability of the machine and
reduces the service life of the saw blade.
Sawing performance and cutting quality
depend essentially on the condition and the
tooth count of the saw blade. therefore, use
only sharp saw blades that are suited for the
material to be worked.
Choice of blades: 24 teeth for general work,
approx. 40 teeth for finer cuts, more than 40
teeth for very fine cuts into delicate surfaces,
diamond for tile, cement board, etc.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
repaired by authorized service facility. Your
power tool requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance. there are no user serviceable
parts in your power tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your power tool.
Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working
controls free of dust.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
Periodically clear dust and chips from guard
and base to ensure proper performance.
