Hints for optimum use
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 minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.
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 sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
◆ Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
