Finishing edges

To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
blade lightly along the cut edges.
For smoother cutting of plywood or other workpiece with
easily splintered surfaces, transparent tape may be used
over your cutting line.
Metal cutting

005937
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead
of using a coolant.
