Sawing metal
•
Be careful, the saw blade can easily bend.
•
Use a finer toothed blade if the jigsaw vibrates a lot during operation.
•
Lower the speed if the saw blade becomes very hot.
•
The use of some kind of lubrication/coolant is recommended, e.g. alcohol for
aluminium and cutting oil for steel.
•
When cutting thin sheet metal, it is advisable to clamp the sheet to a sheet of thin
plywood or similar on either side of the metal. Then saw through all the layers.
