English 2. Cutting lumber (1) When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 21) (2) You can cut efficiently if the speed of the saw blade is set to dial scale "5". (3) You can cut efficiently if the change lever position is set to swing cutting (Fig. 15). Alternatively, you can cut cleanly if the change lever position is set to straight cutting (Fig. 14). Fig. 21 CAUTION: Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Also remember to press the base against the lumber firmly. 3. Sawing curved lines We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade mentioned in Page 19 for the saw blade since it is tough and hardly breaks. Fig. 22 Fig. 23 CAUTION: Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade. 4. Plunge cutting With this tool, you can perform pocket cutting on plywood panels and thin board materials. You can carry out pocket cutting quite easily with the saw blade installed in reverse as illustrated in Fig. 23, Fig. 25, and Fig. 27. Use the saw blade that is as short and thick as possible. We recommend for this purpose that you use BI-METAL Blade No. 132 mentioned in Page 19. Be sure to use caution during the cutting operation and observe the following procedures. (1) Press the lower part (or the upper part) of the base against the material. Pull the switch trigger while keeping the tip of the saw blade apart from the material. (Fig. 22, Fig. 23) (2) Raise the handle slowly and cut in with the saw blade little by little. (Fig. 24, Fig. 25) (3) Hold the body firmly until the saw blade completely cuts into the material.
