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.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
