2. Cutting metallic materials
CAUTION:
Press the base firmly against the workpiece.
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.
The motor can be locked sometimes, depending on the combination of the material to be cut and the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it off immediately.
(1) Fasten a workpiece firmly before operation. (Fig. 24)
Fig. 24
(2)When cutting metallic materials, use proper machine oil (turbine oil, etc.). When not using liquid machine oil, apply grease over the workpiece.
CAUTION:
The service life of the saw blade will be drastically shortened if you don’t use machine oil.
3.Cutting lumber
When cutting lumber, make sure that the workpiece is fastened firmly before beginning. (Fig. 25)

CAUTION:
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Also remember to press the base against the lumber firmly.
4.Sawing curved lines
We recommend that you use the BIMETAL blade mentioned in Page 21 for the saw blade since it is tough and hardly breaks.
CAUTION:
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.
