How to use

Before starting, ensure the battery is charged and correctly inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fit a blade suitable for the material and check blade tension and guide alignment. Secure the workpiece to prevent movement, align the bandsaw blade with the intended cut line, and operate the tool with steady forward pressure—allowing the blade speed to perform the cutting. Periodically stop to inspect the blade condition and clear chips or debris from the cutting area. Follow all safety precautions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.

Recommendations

Use blades matched to the material thickness and hardness for optimal cut quality and extended blade life. For prolonged jobs, rotate spare charged batteries to maintain work continuity. Keep the tool clean and store it in a dry place to preserve mechanical components and extend service life.
