Hints for optimum use
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
u
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
u
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.

The tool is equipped with a sight guide for straight cutting.
Align the left edge of the guides (26) with the cutting line
u
(25).
Keep the sight guide aligned with the cutting line while
u
sawing.
Work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece.
