:
*Be sure to clamp or secure the workpiece before cutting. It allows both hands to grip
both handles. This helps t o maintain secure control of the tool - especially if a kick-
back occurs.
*Always be sure that the cutter blade i s secured firmly before cutting.
Rest the front end of the tool base on the
workpiece surface and align the arrow on
the scale plate with the cutting line with-
out the cutter blade making any contact
with the workpiece. Switch on and wait
until the cutter blade attains full speed.
Then move the tool gently forward. Hold
the tool base flush with the workpiece
a t
all times. Be alert and maintain firm con-
trol of the tool
by
holding both handles
securely. Do not cut "one-handed". When
the cut is complete, do not move the tool
away from the workpiece until the cutter
blade has coasted to a complete stop.
