4.8 AMP JIG SAW 15
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Metal cutting
a) When cutting metal ALWAYS clamp down the metal workpiece.
b) Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower speeds.
DO NOT twist, bend or force the blade.
c) When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. Squirt the lubricant
onto the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce
wear on the blade.
d) If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
e) If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with coarser
teeth.
f) For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or
cutting oil when cutting steel.
g) Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly clamped on
a single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut lines or design on
the top piece of wood.
h) When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench vice and
saw close to the vice jaws.
i) When sawing tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut through the
wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating the tube as you
saw.
