FAQs
What types of materials can this saw cut?
The 9TPI multi-purpose blade is suitable for general cutting of wood, plywood, particle board, and some plastics. It is not recommended for metal or tile.
How do I replace the blade?
Consult the product manual for specific instructions. Typically, it involves unfolding the blade, disengaging the lock, and carefully removing the old blade and installing the new one, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Is this saw suitable for fine woodworking?
While capable of making clean cuts, its 9 TPI blade is optimized for general tasks. For very fine or detailed joinery, a saw with a higher TPI or a specialized blade might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the saw?
Wipe the blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Ensure the blade is dry before folding it into the handle. The handle can be wiped with a damp cloth.
What is the difference between the 210mm and 240mm models?
The primary difference is the blade length. The 210mm model offers slightly more maneuverability, while the 240mm model provides a larger cutting capacity.
Can I use other brands' replacement blades?
It is highly recommended to use genuine TAJIMA replacement blades for this saw to ensure proper fit, performance, and safety. Using incompatible blades could damage the saw or pose a safety risk.
Troubleshooting
Blade does not lock securely when unfolded.
Ensure the blade is fully extended and the locking mechanism has engaged correctly. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for debris or damage. Replacement blades may be necessary if the blade itself is worn.
Blade is difficult to fold or unfold.
Check the pivot point and locking mechanism for dirt or rust. Clean with a light oil lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing the blade; ensure the lock is fully disengaged before folding.
Sawing is slow or inefficient.
The blade teeth may be dull or clogged. Clean the blade thoroughly. If performance does not improve, consider replacing the blade with a new TAJIMA replacement blade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The saw comes ready for immediate use. To deploy, carefully unfold the blade until it locks into place. To retract, disengage the locking mechanism (refer to specific model markings if present) and fold the blade back into the handle.
Compatibility: This saw is designed for general cutting applications. Replacement blades for the TAJIMA Folding G Saw series are available and recommended for optimal performance.
