Operation
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the product, saw blade and workpiece can damage the
product.
− Clean the product (housing, vents and moving parts) regularly to remove
dust and chips/shavings.
− Use a saw blade that suits the respective workpiece (wood, metal or
plastic).
− When cutting metal, use oil as a coolant and lubricant.
− Use a little pressure to push the saw slightly forward in order to avoid
overheating and destroying the saw blade.
− When sawing, press the saw shoe firmly against the workpiece.
− Place thin workpieces on an additional plate to dampen vibrations and
improve the cutting result.
− Perform plunge cuts to process soft work pieces only.
− Secure the work piece to prevent it from moving while processing.

You can continuously adjust the stroke rate for the saw blade depending on the work
piece material.
