MAINTENANCE

METAL CUTTING

(Fig. 6

7)

CAUTION! 

Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the clamping point 

to minimise vibration.

When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work 

in a vice if possible and cut close to the vice.

To cut thin sheet metal, sandwich the sheet between 

hardboard or plywood and clamp layers to prevent 

vibration and the tearing of the metal.

Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminium, 

brass and copper can be cut with your saw. Be careful 

not to bend or twist the blade and do not force the cutting 

action.
We recommend that you use cutting oil to lubricate the 

cutting surface when sawing soft metals and steel. It 

keeps the blade cooler and prolongs blade life.

1. Install a metal cutting blade (included).
2. Coat the cutting surface with cutting oil to prevent the 

blade from overheating

3. Follow the general cutting procedures found on page 5.
