GENERAL
CUTTING
TIPS
cont.
4.
Place
front
edge
of saw
base
on the
material
to be cut
and
line up the
blade
with
your
cutting
line.
5.
Hold
saw
firmly
and
turn
it on.
6.
Press
down
(to keep
saw
base
flat
against
the
workpiece)
as you
slowly
push
the
saw
in the
direction
of the
cut.
7.
Gradually
build
up the
blade
speed,
cutting
as close
to the
line.as
possible
(unless
you
want
to leave
enough
room
for finished
sanding).
8.
As you
cut,
you
may
need
to reposition
the
vise
or clamps
to keep
the
workpiece
stable.
9.
DO
NOT
force
the
saw
because
the
blade
teeth
may
rub
and
wear
without
cutting,
which
may
result
in breaking
the
blade.
10.
Let
the
saw
do most
of the
work.
11.
ALWAYS
cut
slowly
when
following
curves,
so the
blade
can
cut through
cross
grain.
This
will
provide
an accurate
cut
and
will
prevent
the
blade
from
wandering.
NOTE:
ALWAYS
apply
a steady
firm
"DOWN"
pressure
on the
front
and
body
of the
saw
as you
cut.This
will
keep
the
saw
blade
from
JUMPING
out of the
workpiece.
WARNING:
ALWAYS
clamp
and
support
workpiece
securely.
ALWAYS
maintain
proper
control
of saw.
Failure
to clamp
and
support
workpiece
and
loss
of control
of saw
could
result
in serious
injury.
CUTTING
METAL
When
cutting
metal
ALWAYS
clamp
down
the
metal
workpiece
and
ALWAYS
use
a
METAL
cutting
blade.
Be extremely
careful
to move
the
saw
very
slowly
as you
cut.
Use
the
LOW
speeds
(Position
1, 2 or 3 on the
variable
speed
dial).
Also
use
the
"LOW"
position
on the
orbital
control
lever.
DO
NOT
twist,
bend
or force
the
blade.
If the
saw
jumps
or bounces
as you
cut,
change
to a blade
with
finer
teeth.
If the
blade
begins
to
clog
when
cutting
soft
metal,
change
to a blade
with
coarser
teeth.
For
easier
cutting,
lubricate
the
blade
with
a stick
of cutting
wax
(if available)
or cutting
oil when
cutting
steel.
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.
When
cutting
aluminum
extrusion
or angle
iron,
clamp
the
work
in a bench
vise
and
saw
close
to the
vise
jaws.
When
sawing
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
saw.
1. When
cutting
metals,
a suitable
cooling
/ cutting
oil must
be used.
/4k, WARNING:
ALWAYS
unplug
saw
from
the
power
source
BEFORE
oiling
the
blade
or
making
any
adjustments
or
attaching
accessories.
2. Spread
the
oil onto
the
blade
or workpiece
at regular
intervals
during
cutting
in order
to reduce
wear
or overheating
of the
blade.
