When cutting wood, use speed 2 to maximize performance.
u Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
u Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe (5)

the blade facing up.
u Adjust the angle of the handle on the tool so you are as
close to the work surface as possible.
Sawing metal

ne-tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.

wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
u Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
Pocket cutting in wood

the blade forms an appropriate angle for the pocket cut.
u Switch on the tool and slowly feed the blade into the
workpiece. Make sure that the shoe (5) remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
