METAL CUTTING
See Figure 7.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful not to
twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force. We recommend
cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil will also keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and
prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work
in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin
sheet material, "sandwich" the material between hardboard
or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and
material tearing.
