Frequently Asked Questions Frequently asked questions What has to be observed when sawing and how do you avoid dangers? The main risk of injury on sawing power tools is posed by the saw blade – both when the tool is at standstill and when it is working. There is also the risk of machine kick-back resulting from application errors. You must only use sharp saw blades in immaculate condition. The saw blades must be suitable and permitted for the corresponding saw. Blunt or damaged saw blades can lead to jamming and machine stalling. Injuries caused by the saw blade can be avoided by the following measures: o Never remove, fix open or otherwise manipulate protective guards. o Operate the machine with both hands, holding it in the grip areas provided. o Put protective sleeve on chainsaws after use. o With all other saws (except circular saws), remove the blade from the saw after work. Set and fix adjustable safety mechanisms such as the riving knife according to instructions. The saw must be guided securely and firmly during work. When doing so, choose a feed pressure that does not cause the saw to jam or stall. This could cause kick-back torques to occur. Which materials are hand-held electric saws used on? With the exception of certain mineral materials and glass, virtually all materials can be cut with hand-held electric saws. What types of saws are there and how do I find the right one? The basic types are: reciprocating saws (e.g. jigsaw) rotary saws (e.g. circular saw) continuous saws (e.g. chainsaw) What are jigsaws suitable for? Jigsaws are basically suitable for all sawable materials by using the corresponding saw blade. Jigsaws are particularly suitable for complex work with curved cuts in all materials. Of all saws, they have the largest selection of universal and special saw blades. Curve cut with the jigsaw 1. Insert a curve-cutting blade into your jigsaw. When selecting the saw blade, also pay attention to the condition of the workpiece material – for example, is it hard wood or plywood, a board or a panel? 2. Precisely mark the cutting line on your workpiece with a pencil, compass and ruler. If you are sawing a cutout, drill a hole touching the marked line and big enough to insert and turn the blade of your jigsaw in. 3. To drill curves with a very small radius, it is best to use a drill bit with the corresponding diameter. Now use the jigsaw to saw up to the edge of the hole and from there along the previously marked line. 4. Be sure to guide the saw correctly. The more your hand is above the saw blade, the more precisely and easily you will be able to saw curves and straight lines. Right way to saw Procedure: Sawing is a routine job for many DIYers. But whether sawing by hand or using power tools – it is especially important that care is taken when sawing. We will tell you what you should pay attention to. 1. The main risk of injury on sawing power tools is posed by the saw blade – both when the tool is at standstill and when it is switched on. 2. Protective clothing is an absolute must. Do not under any circumstances work without protective glasses and wear ear protectors when the work produces very loud noises. 3. There are saws for all different kinds of requirements. Choose the appropriate saw according to the following points: material (e.g. natural wood, plastic), type (e.g. hard wood, plywood), workpiece (boards or plates) and type of cut (straight or curved). 4. Only use the appropriate saw blades and make sure that they are in immaculate condition. 5. Operate the saw with both hands and hold it at the intended grip areas. 6. Remove the saw blade after work. When using chainsaws, replace the protective cover. Straight cut with the jigsaw Procedure: You can also achieve straight cuts with a jigsaw if you observe the following points: 1. Choose an intact saw blade that is suitable for the material and the application. Saw blades with a wide tooth spine are used for straight cuts because they have better linear guidance. 2. Use a saw station for jigsaws. Simply mount the workpiece, put the jigsaw in the guide rail and safely pull it through the workpiece. This will enable you to effortlessly saw both straight cross cuts and angled cuts between –45° and +45°. 3. Pay attention to your safety. Wear protective glasses and remove the saw blade from the machine when you have finished working with it. .

Understand- ing why it happens is the first step in preventing damage to your tools, project parts, and body parts. Then by tuning and using your tools properly, you can prevent it. In this article, we’ll look at four tools prone to kickback: tablesaw, router, mitersaw, and jointer. Regardless of the tool, always keep blades and bits sharp and clean to reduce friction.

    Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil. Across the Grain When looking at the grain of a piece of wood, if you were to scratch the piece perpendicular to the direction of the grain, this would be an across the grain scratch.

  • Saws from Festool. We Are Taking Over the Lead
    SAWING Product range Saws from Festool. We are taking over the lead. Perfection is our declared aim. If there will perhaps never be the perfect saw, we have already made history along the way: for example with the guide rail and the splinterguard for circu- lar saws, the triple saw blade guide for pendulum jigsaws or the twin column guide with two bearings for the KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws. We have learnt one thing from this: It is better to set standards than to following existing trends. Our engineers are the driving force behind all innovations. And, of course, our customers. Because only you can show us the way – to tools that are ergo- nomic in shape, lightweight, powerful and operate intuitively. In brief: to a sophisticated and well-thought out system that makes your work decisively easier. We shall remain true to this principle in the future: whether it be through the intensified use of our EC-TEC motor concept and the battery technology in the area of sawing or through further developments that meet our toughest demands. But for all the praise for our products receive here is constantly that little bit of self-criticism. An essential requirement for our aim: the construction of the perfect tool.
