Operation

• General information
  • The saw does not cut wood automatically. Rather, the operator must push and guide the wood toward the moving saw blade.
  • The teeth only cut the wood on the downstroke.
  • The wood must be slowly pushed and guided toward the saw blade, since the teeth of the blade are very small.
  • Those who want to use the saw must go through the process of learning how to do so. During this time, a few blades will invariably break.
  • When cutting thicker wood, special attention must be paid not to bend or twist the saw blade.
  • Handling the saw blade properly increases its ser-vice life.
• On/off switch (16)
  • Switching on: Press the “I” button.
  • Switching off: Press the “0” button.

ATTENTION
The machine is equipped with a safety switch against reactivation if the voltage drops.
