4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, all, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY 1.
SERVICE 1. Toolservice must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. 2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual.

If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limitinglinevoltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation.
I=.llJ_[e]jj[e] _F_,I IIIIB]:[.."le]-'| I "..]II III[e]_ FOREWORD The Porter-Cable TIGER SAW®is designed for cutting wood up to 12" thick, metal up to 3/4" thick and various other materials, such as plastics, fiberglass, hard rubber, etc. SELECTING THE BLADE For best performance, longer blade life, and smoother cut, select the proper blade for the job. A wide assortment of Porter-Cable blades is listed in the back of this manual.
work the blade up and down while rotating the clamp (in a counterclockwise direction). FLUSH BREAK RECESSED BREAK BROKEN BLADE If the blade breaks leaving nothing to grasp (to pull it from the clamp), it may be necessary to use another blade as a tool to aid in removing the broken piece (see Fig. 4). While holding the release collar in the open position, usa the tip of another blade to "hook" the broken piece and pull it from the clamp. (A thin, fine-toothed, metalcutting blade works best.
HOW TO HOLD SAW The gear housing, intermediate plate, blade and pivoting guide shoe may be made live if the blade cuts into live wiring within a wall. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK THE SAW MUST BE HELD AS SHOWN IN FIG. 8, AND HAVE THE RUBBER FRONT HOUSING COVER PROPERLY INSTALLED AND NOT DAMAGED. Fig. 8 TO START AND STOP SAW 1. Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the saw. Connect saw to power circuit. 2. Hold saw firmly.
DUAL BLADE MOTION (Model 737 only) Model 737 has dual blade motion: you have a choice of straight reciprocating motion, as shown in Fig. 10, or orbital motion as shown in Fig. 11. Straight reciprocating motion should be used for all metal cutting operations, and for wood cutting applications where finish is more important than speed. Orbital motion is used for fast cutting of wood. To set saw for straight reciprocating motion: rotate knob (A) Fig.
BEFORE YOU START TO WORK Select the blade best suited for the material to be cut (see ACCESSORIES). For greatest economy, use the shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the material to be cut. Be sure the material to be cut is rigid. Small work pieces should be securely clamped in a bench vise or with clamps to the work table. As the work progresses in scroll or curved cut-out pieces, the material may be readjusted to accommodate the movement of the saw.
KEEP TOOL CLEAN Periodicallyblow out all air passages with dry compressed air.All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses while using compressed air. FAILURE TO START Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
