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
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 compressed air or a rag.
3.
4.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Caution. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the saw.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
