Metal Cutting - 909 CK14DD Instruction Manual

Metal cutting

Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminium,
brass and copper can be cut with your saw. Be careful
not to bend or twist the blade and do not force the cutting
action.
We recommend that you use cutting oil to lubricate the
cut when sawing soft metals and steel. It keeps the blade
cooler and prolongs blade life.
CAUTION. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to minimise vibration. When cutting conduit
pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vice if possible and
cut close to the vice. To cut thin sheet metal, sandwich the
sheet between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers
to prevent vibration and the tearing of the metal.
