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 close to 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 150/1,6 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.
