Top tips
Measure twice
An oldie but a goodie – double-check your measurements to make sure they’re spot on when you get going. You’ll thank us later.
Remove jewellery and loose clothing
From necklaces and rings to sleeves and hoodie strings, make sure any loose items are removed or secured, so they can’t get caught in spinning parts.
Let the tool do the work
Pushing too hard can reduce accuracy, overheat the motor, and wear out blades faster.
Check speed settings before starting
Faster doesn’t always mean better. Use lower speeds for metal, plastics, or delicate work.
