Caution
•
Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying chips or dust.
•
Wear a dust mask.
•
When cutting metal wear protective gloves to protect your hands
from hot flying chips.
•
Be sure to hold the saw’s shoe firmly against the workpiece
while cutting. Holding the shoe against the workpiece prevents
vibration and/or twisting of the blade, which could otherwise lead to
jamming, kickback or breakage.
Sawing
•
Press the saw’s shoe firmly against the workpiece.
•
Pull the trigger lightly and apply the blade to the workpiece.
•
Firstly, cut a pilot groove at a slow stroke rate. Once the pilot groove is
established, increase speed and pressure and cut through the workpiece at a
constant rate.
•
In the event that the blade jams switch the saw off immediately and remove the
blade from the cut.
•
Switch the saw off once the cut is complete.
Sawing metal
Consult the following table to determine which coolant is appropriate for your
workpiece:
Material Lubricant
Steel Oil
Aluminium Turpentine or paraffin
To prevent wear to the blade it is very important to use a suitable coolant
when sawing metal.
