Maintenance, Protecting the environment

To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich.

Sawing Metal

Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.

Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.

When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this sandwich.

When cutting metal piping, do not cut directly through the pipe as you would saw a wooden dowel. Instead, cut around the circumference of the pipe to avoid pinching the blade. Only one section of the blade should be in contact with the pipe.

Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
