9. Sawing
General sawing
Hold the saw firmly in front and away from your body. Make sure that the
sawblade is free from foreign bodies. Make sure that the material to be
cut is not free to move. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in
a vice or clamped to the workbench or table. Always mark the cutting line
clearly. Press the "safety button" and then press the "ON/OFF" button
to start the sawing. Place the "shoe" on the work piece and then move
the sawblade towards the respective cutting line. Use enough pressure to
maintain the sawing process. Allow the sawblade and the saw to do the
work. Use of excessive pressure which causes the blade to bend or twist,
may lead to breakage of the sawblade.
Sawing metal
You can also cut metals such as steel sheets, pipes, steel rods, aluminium,
brass and copper with the saw.
Note the following tips for cutting metal:
• The sawblade should not be twisted or bent.
• Start with a low speed and exert a little pressure.
• Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel. The oil keep the
blades cool, increases the cutting efficiency and increases the life of
the sawblades.
Never use petrol as the ignition of the motor could ignite the fumes.
