Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
uClamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and metal objects.
uWhen splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
uBe aware that sawing metal takes much more time than sawing wood.
uUse a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a fine- tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw blade for nonferrous metals.
uWhen cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this sandwich.
uSpread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Cutting branches
uCut downward and away from your body.
uMake the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
