MAINTENANCE
METAL CUTTING
WARNING:
Never use the wood-
cutting blade for cutting metals. Failure
to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
1. Clamp the material when cutting metal.
2. Be sure to move the saw along slowly.
3. Use lower speeds.
4. Do not twist, bend, or force the blade.
5. If the saw jumps or bounces, use a
blade with ner teeth.
6. If the blade seems clogged when cutting
soft metal, use a blade with coarser
teeth.
7. For easier cutting, lubricate the blade
with a stick of cutting wax, if available,
or with cutting oil when cutting steel.
8. Thin metal should be sandwiched
between two pieces of wood or tightly
clamped onto a single piece of wood
(wood on top of the metal). Draw the
cut lines or design on the upper piece of
wood.
9. When cutting aluminum extrusion or
angle iron, clamp the work in a bench
vise and saw close to the vise jaws.
10. When sawing tubing and the diameter is
larger than the blade depth, cut through
the wall of the tubing and then insert the
blade into the cut, rotating the tube as
you saw.
OPERATION
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check for damaged, missing, or worn
parts.
2. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the operation.
3. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the tool off immediately and have
the problem corrected before further
use.
