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. The saw cuts freely with only slight feed pressure. Forcing the saw will not make it cut faster.

SAWING WOOD

The TIGER SAW® is used much the same as a hand saw in that it is moved toward the operator during the cutting operation. However, since the blade cuts on the up-stroke instead of the down-stroke as in the case of the hand saw, the good or finish side of the work should face down during the cutting operation.

PLUNGE CUTS

The TIGER SAW® can be used for plunge cutting wood, plywood, wallboard, and plastic materials. DO NOT attempt to plunge cut metal.

Clearly mark line of cut on the work. Grasp front housing with one hand and rear handle with the other hand. To start cut, rest saw on pivoting guide shoe bracket, align blade with the marked line of cut, (blade NOT touching work), as shown in Fig. 13. Start saw. Using guide shoe bracket as a pivot point, roll saw forward by raising rear handle, as shown in Fig. 14. When blade has cut through the work, continue raising the rear handle until saw is perpendicular to the work surface. Keep saw in this position and move blade along line of cut.

SAWING METAL

When cutting angle, H-beam, I-beam, channel, etc., start the cut on the surface where the greatest number of teeth will contact the work. To make a pocket cut, drill a starting hole first. To extend blade life, cutting oil can be applied to the work surface along the line of the cut.
