Cutting technique

in such away that you
can predict what will

3. Start cutting gently, do
not force or push the
blade in.
4. Use a high blade speed.
5. Move the blade slowly
backwards and forwards.
6. Use a small part of the
blade's cutting edge.
7. Only use the blade's
cutting edge when
cutting.
8. Cut with the blade fully
vertical – at right angles
to the work piece.

WARNING!
Do not lean the blade to the side, this can
cause the blade to jam or break with personal
injury as a consequence.
