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
WARNING: When sawing asbestos
cement hazardous dust may be
produced. Follow the statutory
guidelines and observe the

Parallel Cutting (fi g. 5)
With the blade installed in the horizontal orientation,

floors, walls or ceilings.
Make sure that the saw shoe remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
