Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe plate (5) should be held firmly against the material being cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce vibration and minimise blade breakage.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut.
Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 5 A.

Separate collection. This product must not be disposed of with normal household waste.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can damage the presentation surface. The most common saw blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade that cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a
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.
