 When sawing building materials observe the statutory requirements and the
manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure the saw blade and the blade
speed are suitable for the workpiece.
 When sawing metal observe that the material can easily heat up. The saw
blade will harden and loose its cutting efficiency and flexibility.
- Always use undamaged saw blades,
- grease the material on the cutting site with cutting oil or lubricate,
- do not touch the cutting site immediately after cutting.
 When cutting wooden material, do not use too much pressure on the saw
blade. If the stroke rate is too high, the cutting line will tear off.
 When cutting plastics do not operate the saw with a high speed. The plastic
material will heat up, start to melt or will melt behind the cutting line.
 Use narrow blades for tight curved cuttings.
 The length of the saw blade should not exceed the intended cutting length.
 To make flush cuttings, e.g. sawing pipes directly on the wall, preferably use a
flexible bimetal saw blade. The length of the saw blade has to exceed the
diameter of the workpiece you intend to cut. First, place the saw blade directly
on the wall surface and bend the blade with sideways pressure so that the
footplate comes up against the wall.
 Plunge sawing can be used only in soft materials. Only use short saw blades
when undertaking plunge sawing. First, cut the surface of the workpiece as
usual and as soon as you have reached the requested cutting depth, bring the
blade into the vertical position and continue sawing along the cutting line.
Using
Suitable for coarse sawing of wood.
Suitable for fine sawing of wood boards
and for curves or plunge cuttings.

coarse work in wood and plastics.
