Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe cutting:

1. Inspect the Branch: Before cutting, assess the branch for size, stability, and potential hazards. Ensure there is clear space around the cutting area.
2. Proper Grip: Hold the saw handle firmly with a comfortable grip.
3. Positioning: Place the blade on the branch at the desired cutting point. For larger branches, consider making an undercut first to prevent bark stripping.
4. Cutting Motion: Apply moderate pressure and use a smooth, consistent push-pull motion. The triple-ground teeth are designed for efficient cutting in both directions. Let the saw's sharpness do the work; avoid excessive force.
5. Maintain Control: Keep both hands clear of the blade's path. Maintain a stable stance throughout the cutting process.
6. Finishing the Cut: Continue cutting until the branch is severed. Be prepared for the branch to fall once the cut is complete.

The turbo blade design provides efficient push-pull cutting action, making your cutting tasks easier.

Care and Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your STANLEY ACCUSCAPE Turbo Folding Saw:

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade of any sap, resin, or debris. A damp cloth and mild soap can be used. Dry the blade thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of rust-preventative oil to the blade, especially if storing for extended periods or in humid conditions.
• Sharpening: The high-carbon heat-treated blade is designed to stay sharper longer. When sharpening becomes necessary, it is recommended to have it professionally sharpened or use a specialized saw blade sharpener designed for triple-ground teeth.
• Storage: Always fold the blade into the handle and ensure it is securely locked before storing. Store the saw in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
