How to use

Ensure the battery is charged and correctly inserted before use. Fit a blade compatible with a 165 mm diameter and secure it using the supplied hexagonal wrench, following the indicated rotation direction. Adjust the cutting depth and, if required, the bevel angle before starting the saw. Maintain a firm grip with both hands, align the saw to the cut line, and allow the blade to reach full speed before advancing the tool steadily through the material. After completing the cut, release the trigger and wait for the blade to stop before setting the tool down or performing any adjustments.

Recommendations

Use appropriate cutting blades matched to the material for optimal results and reduced wear. Always observe safety precautions: wear eye and hearing protection, cut-resistant gloves, and secure the workpiece. For prolonged jobs, use batteries with sufficient capacity and rotate charged batteries to maintain consistent power output. Regularly check blade sharpness and fastening torque to ensure safe and accurate operation.
