TREE TRIMMING
• Use a coarse blade when cutting tree limbs. Hold shoe firmly against tree branch. If
possible, cut close to the trunk to minimize movement of the branch.
PROJECT TIPS
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
• Place blade and shoe lightly against work to be cut. This will improve operator control
and minimize vibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to
high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure
