5. Istruzioni per l'uso

Follow these steps for effective and safe cutting:

1. Pezzo sicuro: Sempre clamp the material firmly to a workbench or vise to prevent movement during cutting.
2. Inizio del taglio: Place the blade on the marked cutting line. Use a light, steady pressure on the forward stroke to start the cut.
3. Tecnica di taglio: Apply pressure on the forward stroke and relieve pressure on the return stroke. Use long, even strokes to maximize efficiency and blade life.
4. Specifiche del materiale:
   • Metallo: For harder metals, use a slower stroke speed. For softer metals, a faster speed can be used.
   • PVC/Plastic: Use steady, moderate pressure. Avoid excessive heat buildup, which can melt the plastic.
   • Legna: The hacksaw can be used for light woodworking, but a dedicated wood saw may be more efficient for larger pieces.
5. Completamento del taglio: As you approach the end of the cut, reduce pressure to prevent the material from breaking unevenly or the blade from binding.
