Hints for optimum use
 ● Always hold the tool securely. For precision work, hold the 
tool near the front.
 ● Clamp the workpiece whenever possible, especially when 
using cutting blades.
 ● Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
 ● Always use the appropriate type of attachment for the 
workpiece material and type of cut.
 ● Regularly check the condition of accessories. Replace 
when necessary.
 ● Mark the desired starting point.
 ● Switch the tool on and slowly feed attachments into the 
workpiece at the desired starting point.
 ● Clamp a piece of plywood or soft wood to the back of the 
workpiece and saw through the combination in order to 
obtain a clear cut.
 ● Do not force the cutting blade into the workpiece. Note 
that cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than 
sawing thicker wooden workpieces.
 ● When cutting metal spread a thin lm of oil along the 
cutting line before cutting.
 ● When sanding new layers of paint before applying another 
layer, use extra ne grit.
 ● On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of 
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with 
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a ne 
grit for a smooth nish.
 ● Consult your retailer for more information on 
available accessories.
