Correcting a Cut
Should your cut begin to leave the cutting line, don't try to
force it back on. Forcing a correction can stall the saw and
cause kickback. Instead, release the switch and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then, back the saw out of the
cut. Restart the saw and re-enter the cut, following the desired
cutting line.
CAUTION: Do not cut through bolts with the metal-
cutting saw. Damage to the saw or personal injury
could result.
Maximizing Blade Life
To extend blade life, follow these practices:
•
Do not force the blade through the metal. The saw must cut
at its own pace and at a constant rate.
•
Change blades when it is no longer easy to push the saw
through the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
excessive heat is built up in the blade.
•
Keep base of the saw firmly against metal you are cutting.
•
If the metal you are cutting is vibrating or shaking, clamp
the material as close to the cut as possible and slow down
the cutting rate.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection. Under some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
•
Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
•
Ensure the material to be sawn is secured in place.
•
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not
exert side pressure on the saw blade. If possible, work
with the saw shoe pressed against the workpiece. This
prevents damage to the blade and stops the tool from
jerking and vibrating.
•
Avoid overloading.
•
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut.
