of approximately 30° (see Fig.8).
This saw produces hot chips, not
sparks, when cutting metal.
It is recommended that you wear a
face shield over safety glasses to
protect your face,
FEED SPEED
F,0.
Feed speed ishow quickly you push the saw blades throughthe material being cut,
The correct feed speed is totally determined by the hardness and the thickness of
the material being cut,
IMPORTANT: FeedingmustALWAYS be done withthe bladesperpendicular tothe
planeof theworkpiece (See Fig.A). Feedingat an angle can burn the blade and
damage the bladeteeth (See Fig. B).
Selecting the correct feed speed Is important.
If the feed speed Is too slow:
1. The blades will onlypress downon the material rather than cuttingit,
2. The bladeedges glideand wear downthe material.
3. A poorcut willresultand cause excessivewear on the blades
If the feed speed Is too fast:
1. There isa definite riskthatthe cut mFghtsplitand the splinteredopeningofthecut
winnot be sufficientto divertthe woodshavings.
2. A poor cutwillresultwith a significantdischargeof woodshavingson the lower
side ofthe cut.
