OPERATION

CAUTION:
Hold the tool firmly.
CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece during cutting. Never perform a
curved cut. Failure to do so may cause blade break-
age, resulting in a serious injury.
The V-notch and convexed portion in the base cover of
the tool indicate the position of the blade. Always check
the blade position when cutting.

NOTE: For accurate cutting, it is recommended to
draw cutting lines on the workpiece beforehand.
1. Place the tip of the blade on the start line. Tilt the
tool so that the front edge of the base touches the work-
piece. Align the bottom of the V-notch in the front edge
with the cutting line.

2. Slowly pull the trigger without the blade making
any contact with the workpiece. When the blade attains
full speed, push the tool toward the workpiece. As the
blade pierces the workpiece, make the whole surface of
the base cover contact with the workpiece.
