TREE TRIMMING
•Use a coarse blade when cutting tree limbs. Hold shoe firmly against tree branch. If possible, cut close to the trunk to minimize movement of the branch.
PROJECT TIPS
•Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
•Place blade and shoe lightly against work to be cut. This will improve operator control and minimize vibration.
•For longer blade life, use
•Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure
