OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
10. While resting the edge of the shoe on the workpiece and with the blade just above the
workpiece, depress the lock-off button and trigger switch to start the saw and bring it
to the maximum desired cutting speed. Then, using the edge of the shoe as a pivot, lower
the blade into the workpiece.
11. As the blade starts cutting, raise the handle of the tool slowly, until the shoe rests
firmly on the workpiece.
12. After the blade has penetrated through the workpiece, continue sawing along the
marked cutting line.
METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. Do not force the tool.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will
keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and make the cut close to the clamping point
to minimize vibration.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if possible, and cut
close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between pieces of hardboard or
plywood, and clamp the layers together to reduce vibration and tearing of the material.
