Advice about ways of working
when sawing
JBefore sawing, always check the workpiece for
foreign bodies such as nails, screws etc. and
remove them.
JDo not allow the ventilation slots to become
covered.
JSwitch the tool on and only then bring it into
contact with the workpiece.
JIf the saw blade jams, switch off the tool im-
mediately. Open the sawn split in the workpiece
slightly using a suitable tool and extract the
saw blade.
j Always make sure the saw blade type and the
blade speed and oscillation settings are suitable
for the workpiece.
j Narrow blades are best for tight curves.
