Metal cutting
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe,
steel rods, aluminium, brass and
copper can be cut with your saw.
Be careful not to bend or twist the
blade and do not force the cutting
action. We recommend that you
use cutting oil to lubricate the
cut when sawing soft metals and
steel. It keeps the blade cooler
and prolongs blade life.
CAUTION.
Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to minimise vibration. When cutting conduit
pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vice if possible and
cut close to the vice. To cut thin sheet metal, sandwich the
sheet between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers
to prevent vibration and the tearing of the metal.
Maintenance
WARNING.
Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
Cleaning
1.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
3.Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
