turn it on, and press down to keep the saw foot
flat against the work as you slowly push the
saw into the workpiece in the direction of the cut.
Gradually increase the cutting speed, cutting
close to the line (unless you want to leave stock
for finish sanding). You may have to adjust or
relocate the vise or clamps as you cut to keep
the work stable. Do not force the saw, or the
blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting
and the blade may break. Let the saw do most
of the work. When following curves, cut slowly
so that the blade can cut across the grain. This
will give you an accurate cut and will prevent
the blade from wandering.
Cutting with a Straightedge Cutting with a Straightedge
Always use a rough-cut blade when possible.
Clamp a straightedge onto the workpiece
parallel to the line of cut and flush with the side
of the saw foot.
Either a.) first mark the line of cut and then
position the straightedge parallel and at the
same distance as between the blade and the
side edge of the foot or b.) first mark the side
edge of the foot and then clamp the straightedge
on the mark and parallel to the cut line
As you cut, keep the saw-foot edge flush
against the straightedge and flat on the
workpiece.
Plunge Cutting Plunge Cutting
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in
making rough openings in softer materials. It
is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or
pocket cut.
Draw lines for the opening.
Hold the saw firmly and tilt it forward so that the
toe of the saw foot rests on the work, but with
the blade remains well clear of the work.
Start the motor, and then very gradually
lower the blade while keeping the toe on the
workpiece. When the blade touches the work,
continue pressing down on the toe of the saw
foot and slowly pivot the saw like a hinge until
the blade cuts through and the foot rests flat on
the work.
Saw ahead on the line of cut line.
NOTICE: NOTICE:
We do not recommend plunge cutting with a
scroll blade.
To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,
then stop the saw and back up slightly before
rounding the corner. After the opening is
complete, go back to each corner and cut it
from the opposite direction to square it off.
WARNING! WARNING!
Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces.
Metal Cutting Metal Cutting
WARNING! WARNING!
Never use the wood-cutting blade for cutting
metals. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
Clamp the material when cutting metal.
Be sure to move the saw along slowly.
Use lower speeds.
Do not twist, bend, or force the blade.
If the saw jumps or bounces, use a blade with
finer teeth.
If the blade seems clogged when cutting soft
metal, use a blade with coarser teeth.
For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a
stick of cutting wax, if available, or with cutting
oil when cutting steel.
Thin metal should be sandwiched between two
pieces of wood or tightly clamped onto a single
piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw
the cut lines or design on the upper piece of wood.
When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron,
clamp the work in a bench vise and saw close
to the vise jaws.
When sawing tubing and the diameter is 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 saw.
