HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

General
Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for aluminum
and PVC and a low speed for metals other then aluminum
Specific materials also require specialty blades (sold
separately).
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering
may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
f Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
f Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
f To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
f Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time
than sawing wood.
f Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
f When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
f Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Pocket cutting (Fig. L)
A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut.
The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board
without first drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting,
measure the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil. Next tip the saw forward until the front end of the
shoe sits firmly on the work surface and the blade clears
the work through its full stroke.
Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed.
Grip the saw firmly and lower the back edge of tool slowly
until the shoe sits flate on the surface. Hold the shoe
