Metal cutting
Never use the wood-cutting blade for cutting
metals. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as
sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend
the saw blade. Do not force the tool.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when
cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will
keep the blade cool, increase the cutting
efficiency, and prolong blade life.
To avoid possible serious injury:
■ Never use gasoline as cutting lubricant
because normal sparking could ignite the
fumes.
■ Securely clamp the workpiece in position
and make the cut close to the clamping
point to minimize vibration.
■ When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron,
clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and cut
close to the vise.
■ To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the
material between pieces of hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers together to
reduce vibration and tearing of the material.
NOTE: When cutting pipes be sure the
blade always extends beyond the workpiece
throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if
the front on the blade hits the work
(see figure M).
