PRODUCT OPERATION
When most materials are cut, the drop’ piece will have a beveled edge, while thekeep’ piece (the piece left on the table) will have a mostly square edge.

1. Slide the Camlock lever over to unlock cutter.

2. Place product on table. It is recommended that you HOLD MATERIAL IN PLACE until the cut is complete. Bring handle down until blade touches material.

3. Push handle down until the material is cut completely. Some effort may be required depending of hardness of material.

SAFETY LOCK
The safety lock can be disengaged by sliding the knob over.

TRANSPORT
Always re-engage the Safety Lock pin and secure the extended handle in the down position while storing, carrying, or transporting your cutter.
CUTTING GUIDE
The SharpShooter Pro is designed to cut a variety of materials. Some of the most common materials are laminate flooring, engineered hardwood (up to / ” / 16 mm thick, 1250 Janka), LVT/LVP/WPC/MLF/SPC, fiber cement board siding, and narrow vinyl siding.
Note: DO NOT attempt to cut any solid wood, high pressure laminate, or engineered hardwood with a Janka Hardness Rating higher than 1250.
Note: Even the approved materials may vary greatly in density and hardness. If extreme force is required to cut a material stop immediately, as it could lead to damage to your cutter or injury. Attempting to cut unapproved materials will void the warranty.

DEGREE CUTS
Firmly lift the friction-fit fence to remove it from the table and press back down in the appropriate 45-degree position. NOTE: This image is for the Marksman. Your cutter may look slightly different.

ANVIL

FLOPPY MATERIALS
When cutting floppy materials, flip the anvil: Remove anvil and blade-stop using a 4 mm or / ” hex key. Reinstall with flat side up instead of bevel. This makes fibrous and floppy materials (examples: cove base, thin vinyl plank) cut more easily.
For Kevlar® fiber reinforced materials (example: rubber belting), put flat side of anvil up above, but also remove plastic blade-stop.

DOUBLE CUTTING
Most materials cut very well with just one cut. However, some brands of fiber cement siding and other products may require cutting twice to produce a better cut. Simply make your first cut / ” to / ” (3 to 6 mm) longer than your mark, then go back and make your second cut on your mark. This is very useful to create a cleaner cut when a trim molding or transition cannot be used to cover your cut end.

MAINTENANCE
Honing the Blade Push the handle down until the blade / ” (3 mm) above the tabletop. Place the provided Hone Stone against the flat side of the blade. Slide the honing stone from one end of the blade to the other 3-4 times. This will remove any burrs from your blade. When you first get your cutter, you should hone after your 5th cut, then hone your blade every 10th cut for the first 100 cuts until your blade is broken in. From there, you only need to hone once per job. Use caution when honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily cause injury. Cut-resistant gloves are recommended when honing the blade.
For more information on honing your blade, scan the QR code or visit www.marshalltown.com/honing-your-blade
Sharpening the Blade The blade can be sharpened to restore a one-sided, 21° ­ 22° knife edge. It is important to note that the blade must be sharpened only on the beveled side, leaving the flat side flat. We recommend that power grinding only be done professionally, as the blade must be fluid cooled during this process.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before troubleshooting double-check the manual:
· Is your cutter properly assembled? · Is it being operated correctly? · Is it properly lubricated? · Has the blade been honed as recommended?
Visually inspect cutter, watching for objects that might obstruct the blade or powerhead travel:
· Foreign material presence between the blade and anvil, in the pin springs or under the cam. · Check your blade for chips, cracks or burrs. · Make sure bearings are intact and lubricated. They should not be spinning/moving on the cam during use.
NOTE: This troubleshooting is for all BulletTM cutters. If you are uncertain if it pertains to your cutter, please contact MARSHALLTOWN customer service.
