For narrow curved cuts:
- use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 6mm).
Check sawblade for flaws (cracks, broken teeth, bending)
before installation. Do not use faulty sawblades.
The sawblade teeth must point in cutting direction (down)
Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades.
The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug is
