•For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and high alloy metals, brass, copper and mild
•For cutting cast iron, cutting fluid is not rec- ommended.
Remember: Too much flow at the cutting fluid nozzle will make a mess and can make the work area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will heat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up and break.
