3. Tips to improve efficiency
Although the saw blade is small, the correct use and maintenance methods will greatly improve the quality and efficiency of the work:
Regular grinding and replacement
The blunt saw blade has reduced cutting force and is easy to tear branches
You can use diamond files and sharpeners to manually sharpen the teeth
It is recommended to check the saw teeth every 3 to 6 months, and frequent users can be more frequent
Cleaning and rust prevention
Remove sawdust and resin residue after each use
Lightly spray the surface of the saw blade with WD-40 or anti-rust oil
Avoid moisture when storing, and put it in the tool box with desiccant
Optimize operating angle and posture
Avoid pushing when using a pull saw blade to prevent breakage
Maintain a 30-45° angle with the wood when sawing to facilitate chip removal
Hold the power tool firmly to prevent the saw blade from jumping
Safety first
Always wear gloves, protective glasses and work shoes
When operating with electric saws, avoid crowded areas
Before changing the saw blade, make sure the power is off or remove the battery
