turn it on, and press down to keep the saw foot
saw into the workpiece in the direction of the cut.
Gradually increase the cutting speed, cutting
close to the line (unless you want to leave stock
relocate the vise or clamps as you cut to keep
the work stable. Do not force the saw, or the
blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting
and the blade may break. Let the saw do most
of the work. When following curves, cut slowly
so that the blade can cut across the grain. This
will give you an accurate cut and will prevent
the blade from wandering.
Cutting with a StraightedgeCutting with a Straightedge
Always use a rough-cut blade when possible.
Clamp a straightedge onto the workpiece
of the saw foot.
position the straightedge parallel and at the
same distance as between the blade and the
edge of the foot and then clamp the straightedge
on the mark and parallel to the cut line
workpiece.
Plunge CuttingPlunge Cutting
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in
making rough openings in softer materials. It
is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or
pocket cut.
Draw lines for the opening.
toe of the saw foot rests on the work, but with
the blade remains well clear of the work.
Start the motor, and then very gradually
lower the blade while keeping the toe on the
workpiece. When the blade touches the work,
continue pressing down on the toe of the saw
foot and slowly pivot the saw like a hinge until
the work.
Saw ahead on the line of cut line.
NOTICE:NOTICE:
We do not recommend plunge cutting with a
scroll blade.
To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,
then stop the saw and back up slightly before
rounding the corner. After the opening is
complete, go back to each corner and cut it
WARNING! WARNING!
Do not plunge cut into metal surfaces.
Metal CuttingMetal Cutting
WARNING! WARNING!
Never use the wood-cutting blade for cutting
metals. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
Clamp the material when cutting metal.
Be sure to move the saw along slowly.
Use lower speeds.
Do not twist, bend, or force the blade.
If the saw jumps or bounces, use a blade with
If the blade seems clogged when cutting soft
metal, use a blade with coarser teeth.
For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a
oil when cutting steel.
Thin metal should be sandwiched between two
pieces of wood or tightly clamped onto a single
piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw
the cut lines or design on the upper piece of wood.
clamp the work in a bench vise and saw close
to the vise jaws.
When sawing tubing and the diameter is larger
than the blade is deep, cut through the wall of
the tubing and then insert the blade into the
cut, rotating the tube as you saw.
