Spear & Jackson Predator Bow Saw - 24" Blade Length

The peg tooth form is specifically engineered for hard, dry wood applications, but the advanced blade technology allows for effective cutting of both hardwood and soft/green wood.

Typically, there is a screw or lever mechanism located near the handle. Turn this mechanism to tighten or loosen the blade until it is taut and straight.

The blade length is 24 inches (610mm).

Yes, the blade can be replaced. Ensure you use a compatible 24-inch (610mm) bow saw blade and follow the tensioning instructions carefully.

While designed for professional use, its ergonomic features and clear functionality make it manageable for experienced DIY users. Always prioritize safety when operating any cutting tool.

Clean the blade and frame after each use, apply a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust, and store it in a dry place.

Use the tensioning mechanism to tighten the blade until it is taut and straight. Ensure the blade is correctly seated in the frame slots.

Check the blade tension. Ensure the teeth are sharp and not clogged with debris. Clean the blade. Verify you are using the appropriate wood type for the peg tooth blade.

This is usually due to incorrect tension (too loose or too tight) or attempting to cut wood that is too thick or has binding. Inspect the frame for damage and replace the blade.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The soft-feel grip is designed for non-slip properties, but extreme moisture or contaminants can reduce its effectiveness.
