Maintenance - DeWalt DCS387P1 Instruction Manual

METAL CUTTING (FIG. 12)
Your saw has different
FIG. 12
metal cutting capacities
depending upon type of
blade used and the metal
to be cut. Use a finer
blade for ferrous metals
and a coarse blade for
non-ferrous materials. In
thin gauge sheet metals it
is best to clamp wood to
both sides of sheet. This
will insure a clean cut
without excess vibration
or tearing of metal. Always
remember not to force
cutting blade as this
reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you
should spread a thin film of oil or other lubricant along the line ahead
of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life.
