FLUSH CUTTING
See Figure 10.
Your saw has been designed with a flush cutting feature
which permits cutting close to floors or walls. To fit your
cutting requirements, cuts may be made in either direction by
reversing the position of the blade in the blade clamp. See
page 8 for instructions on installing Flush Cutting Blade.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 11.
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.
