METAL CUTTING

In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood to the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut without the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those that have a high iron content); and use a coarser blade for non-ferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content). Use a high speed setting for cutting soft metals (aluminum, copper, brass, mild steel, galvanized. pipe, conduit sheet metal, etc.). Use lower speed to cut plastics, tile, laminate, hard metals, and cast iron. Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.

RIP & CIRCLE CUTTING

Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the a rip fence and circle guide (available at extra cost).

When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the cross bar at desired distance from blade and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be down and against the straight edge of the workpiece as shown in figure I.

When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar is at the desired radius and tighten screw. Place saw so that hole in cross bar is over center of circle to be cut (drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up, as shown in figure J.
