How it works and what it is for
The PARKSIDE PERFORMANCE® cordless plunge saw PPTSA 20-Li C3, 20 V uses a circular blade that lowers into the material in a controlled way to produce clean straight or plunge cuts. With or without the guide rail, it is suitable for cutting panels, trimming wooden components, making longitudinal or cross cuts and carrying out finishing work that requires more precision than a standard circular saw.
