Hints for optimum use

Always hold the tool securely. For precision work, hold the
u
tool near the front.
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible, especially when
u
using cutting blades.
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
u
Always use the appropriate type of attachment for the
u
workpiece material and type of cut.
Regularly check the condition of accessories. Replace
u
when necessary.
Mark the desired starting point.
u
Switch the tool on and slowly feed attachments into the
u
workpiece at the desired starting point.
Clamp a piece of plywood or soft wood to the back of the
u
workpiece and saw through the combination in order to
obtain a clear cut.
Do not force the cutting blade into the workpiece. Note
u
that cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than
sawing thicker wooden workpieces.
When cutting metal spread a thin film of oil along the cut-
u
ting line before cutting.
When sanding new layers of paint before applying another
u
layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
u
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine
grit for a smooth finish.
Consult your retailer for more information on available
u
accessories.
