2. Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the
feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is
fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.

3. Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting.
After attaching the guide by same way noted as
above, drive the nail or screw into the material
through the hole on the guide, then use it for an
axis when cutting. (Fig. 19)
NOTE:
Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the
base.

4. Cutting metallic materials
(1) Set the orbital position to "0" or "I".
(2) Cut the material at medium speed.
(3) Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle
oil, soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fluid
is not available, apply grease to the back surface
of the material to be cut.
5. Pocket cutting
(1) In lumber
Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the
wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut
in the center of the lumber. (Fig. 20)
(2) In other materials
When cutting a window hole in materials other
than lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or
similar tool from which to start cutting.
