Hints for Optimum Use
Tips for 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 minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Tips for 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 metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich. The saw blade must extend through the
sandwich throughout the full stroke of the saw.
• Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for
easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting
aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
REVCJS12C Cutting Capacity
Maximum material thickness:
Wood 2" (52 mm)
Steel 3/16" (5 mm)

Sawing
• Always hold the tool with both hands.
• 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.
• If possible, work with the shoe plate 6 pressed against
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and
reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from
being damaged.
