It is advisable when cutting thin sheet to clamp a backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to the work as this will enable you to obtain a cleaner cut. Both metal and wood backing are sawn together. Do not force the cutting blade into the metal as this will reduce the life of the blade and possibly damage the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting even a relatively thick piece of wood, so do not be tempted to speed up the operation by forcing the saw. Spread a thin film of oil along the proposed cutting line before cutting.
