Cutting Tips
• replace, sharpen, and clean blades as nec-
essary to maintain optimum cutting perfor-
mance.
• use even pressure while cutting. heavy or
irregular pressure can lead to poor cuts and
may damage the blade.
• misusing the saw or using incorrect tech-
niques is unsafe and results in poor cuts.
remember—the blade does the cutting with
the operator's guidance.
• When the machine is not in use, raise the
saw to reduce strain on the return spring.
• inspect the machine regularly to keep it run-
ning in top condition.
• Clean, lubricate, and cover the machine
before putting it into storage for extended
periods of time.
