Sawing

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Do not saw workpieces that have become bent or twisted out of shape. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to place the saw on.

The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported.

  • Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.
  • Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
  • Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of the tool arm.

  • Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
  • Set the required mitre angle as necessary.
  • Switch on the power tool.
  • Slowly guide the tool arm downwards using the handle (1).
  • Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
  • Switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
  • Slowly guide the tool arm upwards.
