1. Obtain a piece of wood roughly 4" x 4".  If the piece of material is too small it will be difficult to hold onto.

3. Make sure to tension the blade by flipping the blade tension lever. If the blade is not tensioned properly the blade cut will tend to drift and will make it difficult to follow the cut lines.  

3. Make sure the air blow-off nozzle is pointing at location in front of the blade. This will remove dust from the cut lines and make it easier to follow your lines.

4. Make sure the material is clear of the blade and turn on the power switch.

5. Using the blade speed adjustment knob you can set the blade strokes per minute. The EX-21 is capable of producing 400 to 1550 strokes per minute. Normally harder/thicker material will require a slower blade speed. Set the blade around 800 to start with.  If you notice burn marks slow down the speed.
