Adjusting cutting depth (0-40 mm) 7
- for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not
extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece
- loosen knob H
- raise/lower foot J until desired cutting depth is set on
scale using indicator K
- tighten knob H
Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 8
- loosen knob L
- tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale using
indicator M
- tighten knob L
! when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not
correspond with value on cutting depth scale
90° Cutting angle check 8
- adjust and tighten foot J to maximum cutting depth 7
- adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0°
- check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom of
foot with a square
- if adjustment is needed, tilt and tighten foot to 45° and
bend tab N with an adjustable wrench
Adjustable saw line visor P 9a
- for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the
workpiece
- for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the indicator
line concerned
! the wide part of the foot should rest on the
supported part of the workpiece
- can be adjusted to allow you to choose whether waste
material is on inner or outer side of blade 9b
! cutting width is determined by width of blade
teeth and not by width of blade body
! always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of
cut
Dust suction
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension Q 0
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
- one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory
2610387402)
! do not use dustbag/vacuum cleaner when cutting
metal
Operating the tool 0
- connect plug to power source
- always hold handle R rmly with one hand and handle
S rmly with the other hand
- place tool with front end of foot at on workpiece
! ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into
the workpiece
- switch on tool by rst pressing knob T (= safety switch
which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger U
! the tool should run at full speed before the blade
enters into the workpiece
- lower guard C opens automatically when saw blade
enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by
using lever D only for special cuts such as plunge cuts)
! do not force the tool (apply light and continuous
pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade tips
and, in case of cutting plastics, melting the plastic
material)
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- after completing the cut switch o tool by releasing
trigger U
! ensure that the blade has come to a complete
standstill, before you lift the tool from the
workpiece
APPLICATION ADVICE
Always face the good side of the workpiece down to
ensure minimum splintering
Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type !
- quality of cut improves by the number of teeth
- carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer
than ordinary blades
When using guide-rail (SKIL accessory 2610Z04064) in
combination with adapter, the depth of cut will be
reduced with 14 mm for 90° as well as 45° cuts
Parallel guide V @
- for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge
- can be inserted in either side of foot
Adjusting parallel guide
- adjust to desired cutting width by using parallel guide
scale (use saw line visor P as 0-reference)
- loosen knob W
- tighten knob W
Plunge cutting #
- set desired cutting depth
- tilt tool forward with saw line visor P lined up with
desired line of cut marked on the workpiece
- open lower guard C with lever D
- just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool and
gradually lower back end of tool using front end of foot
as hinge-point
- gradually move tool downward as well as forward
- as soon as blade enters the material, release lever D
! never pull tool backwards
Cutting large panels $
- support panel close to the cut either on oor, table or
workbench
! set cutting depth so that you cut through panel
and not through support
- in case parallel guide does not allow desired width of
cut, clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece
as a guide, and use the right side of the foot against
this guide
