OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.
•
Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,
resulting in a serious injury.
Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or
•
scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted
cutting surface and blade breakage.

Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the
base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool
forward along the previously marked cutting line.
