Tips and tricks
■ Avoid damaging the cutting edge of sensitive
materials, e.g. coated chip boards or doors, by
sticking masking tape along the cutting line. This
also makes it easier to mark a line on the tape
than on a shiny surface. An even more effective
method of protecting the cutting edges is to
clamp a thin piece of wood along the cutting
line (this wood is also sawn).
