Working with the saw
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the saw may result in damage.
− Fasten loose workpieces with a clamping device before beginning to saw.
− When performing work, consider the maximum cutting depth of 95 mm.
− Only make plunge cuts in soft workpieces (e.g. wood).
When sawing thicker branches or trunks you must work without a retaining claw. The
workpiece which you wish to saw must come into contact with the saw shoe. During
work, the saw must be held with one hand on the handle
8
and with the other
hand on the handle surface
14
.
Working without a retaining claw
− Rock the saw slightly forwards and backwards when splitting round workpieces.
Working with a retaining claw
− Hold the saw with both hands and push it downwards slightly (see
Fig. E
).
Carrying out flush saw cuts

trude from a wall, such as pipes, against the wall.
1. Position the saw blade

directly against the wall.
2. Press to the side against the saw and bend it in such a way that the saw shoe 3
pushes against the wall to the side.
3. Switch the saw on and saw through the workpiece, exerting an even amount of
pressure.
Carrying out plunge cuts

3
with the lower edge on the workpiece.
