Metal Cutting (Fig. 6)
This unit has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used and the metal to be cut. Use a finer
blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp
wood to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember
not to force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along
the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. 7) (Wood Only)
The initial step in pocket cutting is to measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
Insert pocket cutting blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely. Next, tip the saw backward until the back
edge of the shoe is resting on the work surface. Now switch motor on, always permitting blade to attain maximum
speed. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw. Blade will begin to
feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibilty is limited, use the edge of the saw shoe as a guide. Lines for any given cut should
be extended beyond edge of cut to be made.
MAINTENANCE
