How to use

Before operation, fit a blade suited to the material and ensure the battery is fully charged. Set the required cutting depth and verify blade alignment. When cutting, secure the workpiece, hold the saw with both hands, and start the saw to reach operating speed before contacting the material. Advance at a steady pace, allowing the blade to do the work to avoid binding. After completing the cut, release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop before setting the saw down. Follow all manufacturer safety instructions and use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and gloves.

Usage recommendations

Use blades with the correct tooth count and type for the material to achieve optimal cut quality and extend blade life. For repetitive or deep cuts, allow cooling periods and avoid overloading the motor. Regularly inspect and maintain the saw, keeping the sole plate and blade guard clean and unobstructed to ensure accurate cutting and safe operation.
