Guard Removal

NB. Do not use without the Guard.

1. Ensure the tool is unplugged from the mains supply.

2. Unscrew the guard release screw. Slide off the guard.

(Diagram E)

NB. When replacing the guard the blade can protrude

through the slot in the base plate. To avoid injury ensure

that the hand is kept well clear. Ensure the guard is

replaced the correct way round.

Clamping

It is not normally necessary to clamp the material being cut

as long as it is fully supported on a work surface and held

with one hand. Clamping should be used where;

 The operator is inexperienced in the use of power saws or

weak handed

 Small parts or tough material is to be cut.

Cutting Limitations

There is no limitation on the size of material that can be cut

as long as it is fully supported.

The saw will cut up to 12 mm deep. Material up to twice as

thick can be cut if cutting is performed on both sides.

Holding and Switching On

Holding the tool correctly will result in easier and safer

operation, with less fatigue.

Right handed operator: (Diagram F)

1. Grasp the handle firmly with the right hand so that it feels

comfortable. The thumb should be towards the rear of

the power switch.

2. Do not cover any of the front vents and no more than

one rear vent.

3. To operate, ensure that any part of the thumb between

the tip and middle joint is over the serrated area of the

switch. (Whichever part is most comfortable) Squeeze

the switch in towards the handle and then pull

backwards.

Left handed operator: (Diagram G)

1. Grasp the handle firmly with the left hand so that it feels

comfortable. The forefinger should be towards the rear of

the power switch.

2. Do not cover any of the front vents and no more than

one rear vent.

3. To operate, ensure that any part of the forefinger

between the tip and middle joint is over the serrated area

of the switch. (Whichever part is most comfortable)

Squeeze the switch in towards the handle and then pull

backwards.

Guard Lock

1. Place the tool at the start of the cut.

2. Switch on the tool in accordance with the instruction

manual. Next release the guard lock. (Diagram H) Then

plunge the saw blade to start the cut. The guard lock is

released by pushing in the direction of the arrow in the

diagram. Either the hand holding the tool or work piece

can be used, whichever is easier.

3. After the cut has been finished and the tool switched off,

ensure the guard lock has fully returned to its resting

position. If not clean thoroughly with a soft brush.

Cutting

The EXAKT Precision Saw is unique because it clamps the

material to be cut between its base plate and the work

surface using a plunge action to ease the blade into the cut.

This results in a faster, easier and cleaner cut.

NB. Always cut in a forward direction. Never draw the

tool backwards. If you are a novice user, practice by

cutting thin wood until proficient.

1. Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the

material to be cut.

2. Fit the correct blade ensuring it is sharp and not

damaged.

3. Set the depth of cut. (See Setting the Cutting Depth

Section)

4. Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a

workbench, table or floor. Use a piece of scrap material

underneath if:

 You do not wish to mark the work surface.

 The work surface is likely to damage the blade. E.g. a

concrete floor.

5. Plug into mains supply.

6. Grasp the tool firmly (See Holding & Switching on

Section) and rest its metal base plate onto the surface to

be cut. Ensure that the rear half of the base plate

overhangs the work surface. Do not plunge the blade

into the material.

7. Switch on the tool and wait for one second for the blade

to run up to speed. Next, depress the guard lock lever

and plunge the blade into the material slowly and gently,

but firmly. Then push the tool forwards along the line to

be cut. (Never draw the tool backwards)

8. Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the

cut. Excess force will cause operator fatigue and

excessive wear to the blade and tool. Excess force is

also likely to cause the temperature cut-out to trip,

resulting in delays.

9. Ensure that the base plate is always held flat on the

material being cut. This is particularly important at the

start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where

the base plate is not fully supported.
