How to get an optimal sawing performance

  1. How to get an optimal sawing performance

    We advise you to factor in the following considerations to ensure you get optimal results with your circular saw:

    • Place the nicer side of the workpiece facing down to minimise splintering
    • Mark out a sawing line on your workpiece
    • Only use sharp blades of the right type and remember: the more teeth there are, the finer the results
    • Set the sawing depth to ensure that the blade doesn’t extend more than 3mm under the workpiece
    • Set the right mitre corner, if desired
    • Test the settings on a piece of waste material
    • Make sure the saw is operating at its top speed before guiding the tool into the workpiece (the protective cap will open automatically)
    • Applying too much forward pressure will reduce the speed of the blade, which will slow your work down
    • Use a parallel guide to get a precise cut along the edge of a workpiece 
    • Don’t lift the circular saw away from the workpiece until the blade has completely stopped
