clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

When servicing, use only identical replacement

OPERATION
Do not force the tool and use a slow speed setting.
Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting action,
and prolongs blade life.
Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration of the work. When cutting
conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the workpiece in a vise if
possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin sheet material,
“sandwich” the material between hardboard or plywood and
clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing.
Always keep firm pressure on the shoe assembly to hold
it securely against the workpiece.
