Pro Tips

Use a slower, controlled cutting speed when cutting metal to reduce heat build-up and improve blade life.
Keep the saw shoe firmly against the workpiece to reduce vibration and prevent tooth damage.
Do not force the blade through metal. Let the teeth cut steadily for cleaner results and longer blade life.
For metal pipe cuts, support the pipe properly to prevent movement, vibration or blade pinching.
When flush cutting near a wall, allow the flexible blade to bend naturally without twisting or overloading it.
Allow the blade to cool after heavy cutting, as metal cutting can generate significant heat.

How to Use

Disconnect the saw from its power source or remove the battery before fitting the blade.
Insert the Festool HSR 230/1,6 BI/5 blade into the compatible S-shank blade holder until it locks securely.
Check that the blade is correctly seated before starting the saw.
Secure the metal workpiece properly to prevent vibration or movement during cutting.
Place the saw shoe firmly against the material before starting the cut.
Start the saw and allow the blade to enter the metal at a controlled speed.
Use steady pressure and avoid forcing, twisting or bending the blade unnecessarily.
For flush cuts, guide the flexible blade carefully against the surface while maintaining control of the saw.
Allow the blade to stop completely before removing it from the cut.
Handle the blade carefully after use, as it may be hot from cutting metal.

Features

Safety

Wear eye, ear and hand protection when cutting metal, profiles, pipes or sheet materials.
Secure the workpiece properly before cutting to prevent vibration, movement or blade pinching.
Ensure the blade is properly locked into the saw before starting work.
Keep both hands on the saw and maintain a stable working position during cutting.
Do not force or twist the blade during the cut, as this can damage the blade or reduce control.
Be aware of sharp metal edges and hot swarf created during cutting.
Allow the blade to stop completely before removing it from the cut or changing blades.
Handle the blade carefully after use, as it may be hot from cutting metal.
