Pocket cuts
• Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
• Using a narrow saw blade rest the bottom of
the saw shoe on the workpiece and make sure
that the blade is positioned on the cutting line.
If necessary, e.g. in confined spaces, use the
outer edge of the saw shoe as your guideline.
• Switch on the tool and feed the blade into the
material at full speed, holding the tool firmly
against the workpiece.
Dust extraction
• When the tool is used indoor for extended
periods of time, use a suitable dust extractor
designed in compliance with the applicable
Directives regarding dust emission.
Cutting metal
• When cutting thin metal always stabilize the
workpiece with wood on both sides. This
guarantees clean cuts and prevents damaging
of the material.
• For long, straight cuts draw a line on the
workpiece.
• Apply a thin film of lubricant along the cutting
line, switch on the tool and follow the cutting line.
Cutting plastics
• Always work at reduced speed. Carry out a test
cut to check whether the material is sensitive to
heat.
Cutting masonry
When sawing asbestos cement
hazardous dust may be produced.
Follow the statutory guidelines and
observe the recommendations issued
by the asbestos cement manufacturers.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
