Cutting large sheets

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support.

If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the

piece, the wheel will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK and extra

load on the motor. PICTURE 14

Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in

PICTURE 15. Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you cut

through the sheet or board only and not the table or work bench.

The two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be

positioned so that the broadest sides support the work and rest

on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow

sides as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or board to

be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use the supporting

two-by-fours on the floor and secure.

Straight edge guide

The straight edge guide (optional attachment) is used for cuts

parallel to the edge of the work, and can be used from either side

of the foot plate for cutting on the left or right side of the material.

NOTE: When using the straight edge guide on the left side or

right side of the tool, position guide as shown. PICTURE 16

Rip cuts

Rip cuts are easy to do with a straight edge guide. Straight edge

guide is available as an accessory (optional attachment). To

attach, insert straight edge guide, insert fence through slots in

foot to desired width as shown and secure with the set screw.

Rip board guide

When rip cutting large sheets, the straight edge guide may not

allow the desired width of cut. Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1”

(25 mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide. PICTURE 18

Use the right side of the foot against the board guide.

2” x 4” cutting guide

The Dremel DSM20 and the 2” x 4” Cutting Guide (Optional

Attachment) can be used to quickly and accurately make cuts in

2” x 4” lumber. Since the depth of cut is less than the thickness

of a 2” x 4” one cut on each side of the wood will be required to

complete a cut through the work piece.

1. Measure and mark the desired cut line on the piece of wood.

2. Slide the 2” x 4” Cutting Guide over the wood in the

designated location of the cut.

Note: When using the standard wheel measure a 1” offset to

properly align the guide to the offset indicator in the cutting

guide.

While using the flush cut wheel, line the fence of the tool up

with the cut line.

3. Clamp the cutting guide to the work piece in the desired

location to make the cut.

4. Firmly hold the tool and use the edge of the guide as a fence

and make the first cut. PICTURE 19

5. Flip the work piece over while leaving the cutting guide

clamped in place and make a second cut to complete the cut

through the 2” x 4”.

Miter/trim cutting guide

The Dremel DSM20, Miter/Trim Cutting Guide (Optional

Attachment) and Flush Cutting Wheel is a perfect combination

to make miter, bevel, and straight cuts in baseboard, trim, and

molding. Angle indicators also aid in making accurate cuts for

other common angles like 15°, 22.5° or 30°.

1. Measure and mark the desired cut line on the piece of wood.

2. Position the Miter/Trim Cutting Guide over the wood in the

designated location of the cut.

3. Clamp the cutting guide to the workpiece in the desired

location to make the cut.

4. Firmly hold the tool and make the cut.

Straight Cuts- use the outside edge of the cutting guide as the

fence. PICTURE 20

45° Miter Cuts- use the angled edge of the cutting guide as the

fence. PICTURE 21

WARNING

ENSURE THE TOOL IS PROPERLY SEATED

IN THE GUIDE BEFORE STARTING THE

TOOL AND USE CAUTION WHEN STOPPING THE TOOL WITHIN

THE CUTTING RAIL TO ENSURE THAT THE CUTTING WHEEL

DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE CUTTING GUIDE.

Miter Cuts (15°, 22.5° or 30°)- Pivot the cutting guide at the

designated corner to the desired angle using the angle indicator

marking on the cutting guide, complete the cut using the outside

edge of the cutting guide as the fence. PICTURE 20

45° Bevel Cuts- While using the flush cutting wheel only, place

the saw in the cutting rail to complete the cut. PICTURE 22

The guide positions the saw to make bevel cuts in workpieces up

to 9/16” thick. To make a cut, first position the tool into the rail

so the back of the tool’s foot fits into the keying feature. Switch

on the tool and proceed to make the cut. Stop the tool before

removing from guide.

Determine if a Inside Left, Outside Left, Inside Right, or Outside

Right cut is required and orient the workpiece. Positions A, B, C,

or D. PICTURE 23
