Metal Cutting; Maintenance, Cleaning, Storage - TACKLIFE RPRS01A User Manual

5. Ensure that the material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a vice
or clamped to the work bench.
6. Mark out a cutting line.
7. To begin sawing, grip the saw firmly with both hands and away from you. Rest the front of the Shoe on
your workpiece with the blade above the workpiece.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the saw if the blade is in contact with anything before operation.
8. Switch on the tool and wait until the saw has reached its full speed before touching the work material.
9. Guide the saw blade into the workpiece.
WARNING! Keep the Shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece while cutting to prevent
tool kickback.
10. For continuous cutting, press the Lock-On Button (8) after the Trigger Switch (10) is fully pressed , then
remove your finger off the Trigger Switch (10).
11. Allow the saw to come to a complete stop before setting it down.
12. To prevent accidents, turn off the saw and disconnect the plug from the mains power supply after use.
Clean and store the tool indoors out of children's reach.
NOTE! Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Do not force the cutting; allow
the blade and the saw to do the work.
Make sure the saw blade does not touch the work piece until the saw reaches its maximum
speed. Failure to do so would cause loss of control and result in serious injury.
Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may cause
the blade to break.

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 cutting surface 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 layers to prevent
vibration and the tearing of the metal.
1. Install a metal cutting blade (included).
2. Coat the cutting surface with cutting oil to prevent the blade from overheating.
3. Follow the general cutting procedures found on page 15.

Maintenance, Cleaning, Storage
