OPERATION
PLUNGE CUTTING (Fig. 6)
Follow these directions to plunge cut:
QSecure the workpiece to a work bench or table with a
vise or with clamps.
QMake sure the saw blade is clear of any foreign
material and that the power cord and extension cord
are out of the blade path.
QHold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from
you.
QMark the line of cut clearly.
QChoose a convenient starting point inside the cutting
area and place the tip of the blade over that point.
QRest the front edge of the shoe assembly on the
workpiece and hold it firmly in position during the cut.
QDepress the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to
reach full cutting speed.
WARNING
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece
until the motor reaches full speed. Faillure to heed
this warning can cause you to lose of control of
the saw and result in serious injury.
QTilt the saw downward until the tip of the blade starts
cutting the workpiece.
QAllow the saw to penetrate the workpiece.
QTilt the saw until the blade is perpendicular to
the workpiece.
WARNING
Blades longer than 15.2 cm can whip and should
not be used for plunge cutting. Failure to heed
this warning can resut in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade,
the blade clamp, and the saw bar assembly to
become electrically live. Do not touch metal parts
when cutting into a wall; grasp only the insulated
surfaces on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical
wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are
not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.
METAL CUTTING (Fig. 7)
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with your saw. Observe the
following tips when metal cutting:
Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
QDo not force the tool.
QUse cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel.
Cutting oil also keeps the blades cool, increases
cutting action, and prolongs blade life.
QNever use gasoline since normal sparking of motor
could ignite fumes.
QClamp the worpiece firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work.
When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the
workpiece 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.
QAlways keep firm pressure on the base to hold it
securely against the workpiece.
