Tips & Tricks

• It's always a good idea to clearly mark your cut lines on your workpiece or on a template you glue to your workpiece.
• When cutting a complex shape, be sure to plan and cut a sufficient number of relief cuts to keep the blade from binding.
• Watch out when cutting curves with tight corners or angles. Pushing in the saw at a tight angle can cause the blade to bind, twist or snap, all of which can lead to injuries.
