Pro Tips

Use a steady, controlled feed rate when cutting aluminium or plastics to improve the finish and reduce blade stress.
Clamp aluminium profiles securely before cutting to prevent vibration, movement or blade grabbing.

Tighten the blade securely according to the machine instructions.
Clamp the workpiece firmly, especially when cutting aluminium profiles or hard plastic sections.
Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed before making contact with the material.
