• 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.
Hints For Optimum Use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate
is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade
that cuts on the downward stroke or:
• Use a fine-tooth saw blade. Saw from the back surface of
the workpiece.
• To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpieces and saw
through this sandwich.
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 sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
• Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Maintenance
Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of
time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and
unplug the tool.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a
soft brush or dry cloth.
• Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
