Tips For Optimum Use
WARNING:
Cutting plastics, sap coated wood,
and other materials may cause melted material to
accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw
blade, increasing the risk of blade overheating and
binding while cutting.
• Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type and size.
• Use hardened steel saw blade

for cutting wood.
Cutting Large Panels (Fig. M)
WARNING:
Set cutting depth so that you cut through
panel and not through support.
• Support panel close to the cut either on floor, table or
workbench.
• In case parallel guide does not allow desired width of
cut, clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece
as a guide, and use the right side of the foot against this
guide.
Splinter-free cutting
• Always face the good side of the workpiece down,
secure a straight piece of wood on the workpiece
using clamps.
