the speed to optimize cutting efficiency.

Lower speed: for cutting plastic, soft aluminium, some
stainless steel.

High speed: for cutting aluminium. Mild steel, stainless
steel, various woods.
4.3 Cutting
•
Secure the workpiece.
•
Rest the front shoe of the saw on your work piece (be sure the blade is not contacting the
work piece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in the direction of the cut to keep
the shoe pressed firmly against the work piece at all times.
•
Do not force the cut or stall the saw bald.
•
Do not bend or twist the blade: let the tool and the blade cutting work piece smoothly.
•
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics and composites, and finer blades are for
cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need fine blade or higher speed.
•
If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade. Exchange blunt
blades when they become dull, dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the
saw.
4.3.1 Plunge Cutting
(Fig. 5-8)
•
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 button 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.
•
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.
