Hints for optimum use

Sawing laminates

As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.

◆Use a fine-tooth saw blade.

◆Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.

◆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.

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