How to use

Unfold the blade from the handle until it locks securely before cutting. Position the saw on the wood with a steady two- to three-handed motion if possible, using controlled strokes to allow the teeth to cut efficiently. For best results, let the blade do the work rather than forcing it; maintain a consistent rhythm and clear sawdust from the cut area as needed. After use, wipe the blade clean and fold it back into the handle until it locks in the closed position for safe transport.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. Avoid cutting materials harder than intended for the blade. Regularly inspect the hinge and locking mechanism, keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion, and store in a dry place when not in use.
