OPERATION
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 7.
Hold your saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be sure
material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be
securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work bench
or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the lock-off
lever, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action. Place
the base assembly against the work, then move the blade
into the work. DO NOT FORCE. Use only enough pressure
to keep the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work.
Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of
the blade may result in broken blades.
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 8.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting
point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the
blade over that point. Rest front edge of base assembly on
work and hold firmly in position. Depress the lock-off lever,
then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action.
CAUTION:
Make sure blade does not touch work until motor
reaches full speed, since this could cause loss of
control resulting in serious injury.
With saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward
until tip of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates
work, tilt saw until blade is perpendicular to the work.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 9.
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.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
