Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Do not touch the saw blade immediately after the
u
operation as it might be hot.
Switching on and off (fig. D)

u
the unlock position and squeeze the variable speed switch

u
Sawing (fig. E)
If possible, always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
Use the same back and forth movement you would
u
employ with a normal hand saw. This enables a quicker
and cleaner cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
Fit a large capacity blade (4).
u
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
u
metal objects.
When splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
u
laminates, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to
both sides of the workpiece and saw through this
sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
u
sawing wood.
Fit a metal cutting blade.
u
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
