What can you do to prevent
|
||||
Use the right saw for the job |
||||
 |
Using a saw designed for cutting wood to cut through a much tougher material such as metal or masonry, can cause the teeth to become broken or damaged. Always ensure you select a saw which is particularly suited to your application. | |||
Check your material thoroughly |
||||
 |
Before cutting any material you should check it carefully for any nails, screws, or anything which could come into contact with the blade while working and damage it. | |||
Don’t let your saw go rusty |
||||
 |
Rust weakens metal, making it more prone to breakages. To prevent rust, wipe your saw with a clean, dry cloth after each use and store in a place free from moisture.
When not in use, you can also lightly coat the blade with tool oil or WD40, to help keep rust at bay. |
