Hints for optimum use
Always hold the tool securely. For precision work, hold the
tool near the front.

(Original instructions)
Mark the desired starting point.
Switch the tool on and slowly feed attachments into the
workpiece at the desired starting point.
Clamp a piece of plywood or soft wood to the back of the
workpiece and saw through the combination in order to
obtain a clear cut.
Do not force the cutting blade into the workpiece. Note
that cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than
sawing thicker wooden workpieces.
When cutting metal spread a thin fi lm of oil along the cut-
ting line before cutting.
When sanding new layers of paint before applying another
layer, use extra fi ne grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fi ne
grit for a smooth fi nish.
Consult your retailer for more information on available
accessories.
