FREE-HAND SAWING
After blade is positioned properly,turn the tool on and move into the workpiece.
Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting steadily.
Do not force, as this will not make the saw cut any faster; let the blade do the work.
Make sure that the saw blade tip goes into free space on the other side of the material.
The cutting path must be free of obstacles both above and below the workpiece.
To prevent splintering, avoid pressure on the blade at the end of the cut.
When the cut is complete, turn off the tool immediately.
Do not bring the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after turning the tool off.
Always let the tool come to a complete stop before putting it down.
