4.
Do not force the appliance.
5.
Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do not force the cutting, allow
the blade and the saw to do the work.
Metal cutting
1.
When cutting metal, ALWAYS clamp down the metal workpiece.
2.
Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower speeds (posi-
tions 1, 2 or 3 on the speed controller). DO NOT twist, bend or force the blade.
3.
When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. Squirt the lubricant
onto the blade or workpiece at regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce
wear on the blade.
4.
If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
5.
If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with coarser
teeth.
6.
For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax or cutting oil.
7.
Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly clamped on a
single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut lines or design on the
top piece of wood.
8.
When cutting aluminium extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench vice and
saw close to the vice jaws.
9.
When cutting tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut through the
wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating the tube as you cut.
