How to use

To use the Peter Bausch 690, first ensure that the appropriate blade for your specific metal type is securely installed and properly tensioned within the frame. Mark your cutting line clearly on the workpiece and secure the material firmly in a vice to prevent movement. Begin the cut by creating a small notch with a light forward stroke, then proceed with steady, rhythmic strokes using the full length of the blade. Apply pressure primarily on the forward stroke and lift slightly on the return stroke to preserve the blade teeth.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 250mm blade size meets your specific project requirements
• Verify that you have a suitable vice or clamping system to hold your workpieces
• Consider purchasing spare blades of different tooth counts for various metal thicknesses

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting metal to prevent injury from flying debris. Regularly check the blade tension and replace the blade as soon as it shows signs of dulling to maintain cutting efficiency and safety.
