Using the Makedo SAFE - SAW is easy. When you want to cut cardboard, use the steel blade to saw through it. Remember, it has no sharp edges, so it's safe to use. If you need to punch holes for the Makedo SCRU, just reverse the tool. For cutting, a good method is to first punch a row of holes about 1' apart along the line you want to cut, and then use the saw to 'join the dots'. This works for both straight and curved cuts, as well as for creating cutouts like holes, windows, or doors. You can also use the punch on the end of the saw to score the cardboard, which helps in creating folds and more interesting shapes. Safety is important. This product has been tested and meets international toy safety standards for an age grading of 3+. But be careful, as there are small parts that pose a choking hazard. Always keep it away from small children when not in use. To maintain it, just keep it clean and dry. If it gets dirty, you can wipe it with a dry cloth.
