3. Прыёмы выразання

For straight cuts, guide the shear along your marked line, maintaining steady pressure. The tool is designed to leave a thin waste strip, ensuring a clean edge. When cutting large sheets, especially fiber cement, it is recommended to support the piece being cut off to prevent premature breaking, as the material can be brittle. A common technique is to cut from both ends towards the center, supporting the loose piece as the cuts meet.

While primarily designed for straight cuts, the KD-1495 can make large radius curves. For intricate or sharp turns, multiple straight cuts or alternative tools may be required.
