In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades
are
for cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or
higher
speed. If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade.
Replace blades when they become dull. Dull blades will produce poor
results and may overheat the saw.

Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out
area. Place the tip of the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut,
slowing lower the saw until the bottom edge of the shoe rests on the work piece
and the blade not touching the work piece. Start the saw and allow it to attain full
speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the saw forward to lower the
blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is perpendicular
to the work piece.
8.7
Metal cutting
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose.
You may use light oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent
overheating of the blade, help the blade cut faster, and promote longer blade life.
