5. Standing position and guiding of the saw

Before beginning to saw make sure that the height of the vice is correct and that the workpiece is firmly clamped!

Procedure:

- The weight of the body is resting on one leg while the other leg is always straightened with both feet firmly on the ground.

- The saw is moved with the arms and such movement may be slightly supported by the upper part of the body.


Figure 12 Standing position

- When pushing the saw is pressed onto the workpiece, pulling back is without exerting any pressure!

- Shortly before the workpiece is sawn off the pressure is to be released so as to avoid the workpiece to be pulled away by the saw which might damage the saw blade I

Notes

- The total length of the saw blade is to be utilized when sawing.

- Cutting oil is to be slightly applied to the sides of the sawing blade before use to minimize friction!

- Right-handed persons have to stand on the left of the vice so that the guiding hand will not be pulled over the vice - danger of injury!

Why should the saw be guided so that many teeth are cutting at the same time?
