Hints for Optimum Use
Tips for Sawing Laminates
• As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering
may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
• Use a fine‑tooth saw blade.
• Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
• To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
Tips for Sawing Metal
• Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
• Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
• When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
thissandwich. The saw blade must extend through the
sandwich throughout the full stroke of the saw.
• Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for
easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting
aluminum, kerosene is preferred.

Sawing
• Always hold the tool with both hands.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
• If possible, work with the shoe plate

pressed against
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and
reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from
being damaged.
