4. Mark out the cutting line.
5. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger.
6. Wait until the saw has reached maximum speed.
7. Place the shoe on the work piece and begin sawing.
8 When sawing, always hold the shoe firmly against the
work piece.
9 Do not attempt to cut blind cuts. These are cuts where
the blade does not protrude through the work being cut.
This can cause the saw to kick back, and cause injury.
10. If removing the saw from the cutting slot, ALWAYS stop
the saw before removing the saw from the cut.
NOTE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
Do not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do
the work.
WARNING. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending
or twisting of the blade may cause the blade to break.
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.
