USING THE SAW
Note: Always press lightly when cutting. Do not force the Saw. Sudden forceful pressing will shorten the stroke,
diminish cutting efficiency, or possibly break the blade.
Note: Always operate the Saw with two hands. Hold the top of the Housing (28) with one hand, and hold the lower
Housing (28) and Throttle Lever (13) with the other. Failure to use two hands may cause the Saw to vibrate out of
your control causing serious injury.
Warning! This Saw may be used for cutting through copper, steel, aluminum, and plastics. Do not exceed the
maximum 16 gauge thickness when cutting steel with this Saw. Doing so can cause serious injury and damage
to the tool.
Warning! Check the saw Blade (35) prior to each use. Do not use a cracked, bent, or broken Blade (35).
1. Secure the workpiece in a vise, or clamp it securely to a workbench.
2. Following the directions on page 4, attach the Saw to the air source hose.
3. Push the Throttle Safety forward (see FIGURE 1) and pull the Throttle Lever (13).
4. Contact the workpiece allowing the Saw to do the cutting for you. Do not exert pressure on the workpiece.
5. When finished, release the Throttle Lever (13) and disconnect the Saw from the air source.
After disconnecting the Saw from the air compressor, there could still be enough air pressure to activate the
Saw. Always position the Saw safely and activate the Throttle Lever (13) repeatedly to make sure all of the
air is expended
.
MAINTENANCE
1. After each use, wipe down the Saw with a lint free cloth.
2. Make sure that both the housing that holds the Blades (35) and the Air Inlet (9) are free of dirt and debris.
3. Periodically apply a light amount of machine oil to the pivot point of the Throttle Lever (13). See FIGURE 1.
4. Before each use, check the Blade (35) to make sure it is securely in place. If necessary, tighten the
Set Screws (30).
5. Before each use, make sure the Blade Guard (34) is securely in place. Tighten if necessary.
