(Original instructions)
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich. Alternatively, t the anti-splinter guard (13)
that is supplied with your product. (KS901SE only).
Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
lings will be hot and may cause re.
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
Rip Fence
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done
with a rip fence and circle guide (available as an optional extra
- part number X43005-XJ).
Attaching Rip Fence ( gs. H & I)
Insert rip fence (14) into the shoe plate slots with the cross
bar facing down as shown in gure H.
Place screw (15) into hole in bottom of shoe plate.
Align clamp bar (16) over screw with lipped edge facing
down and pointing towards the rear of the saw.
Using a phillips screwdriver, run the screw into the
threaded hole in the bar clamp as shown in gure I.
Adjust to width of cut and tighten screw.
Circle Cutting ( g. J)
Insert rip fence into slot on the right side of shoe plate
with cross bar facing up.
Adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole
in cross bar is the desired radius and tighten screw.
Place saw so that centre of hole in cross bar is over
centre of circle to be cut (make plunge cut, drill hole for
blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade
into position).
When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail
through hole in cross bar into exact centre of circle
to be cut.
Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
Plunge Cutting ( g. K)
A plunge cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without
rst drilling a lead or pilot hole. In plunge cutting, measure
the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip
the saw forward until the front end of the shoe sits rmly on
the work surface and the blade clears the work through its
full stroke. Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum
speed. Grip the saw rmly and lower the back edge of tool
slowly until the blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the
shoe at against the wood and begin cutting. Do not remove
blade from cut while it is still moving. Blade must come to
a complete stop.
