Use and Cutting Hints

Plan the cut.
x
Know the material to be cut. If necessary, slow down surface speed
of saw band by reducing the air pressure.

Verify material to be cut is firmly held to prevent movement.

Hold the saw with the work stop contacting the work and saw band teeth
clear of the work.

To start the electric motor squeeze trigger switch.
Lower saw onto work. Allow weight of saw to control cutting pressure.
Additional pressure will slow down speed of the saw band.
Hold saw straight in the cut. Any twisting or cocking of the band results
in shorter saw band life.
If the saw band binds or jams in the cut shut off the motor and disconnect
the air supply. Free the saw band carefully.

Stay clear of end pieces that may fall down after being cut off.
At completion of cut

allow saw to fall against your body, the work
or any person nearby.
