of approximately 30 ° (see Fig. 8). This saw produces hot chips, not sparks, when cutting metal.
It is recommended that you wear a face shield over safety glasses to protect your face,
FEED SPEED
Feed speed is how quickly you push the saw blades through the material being cut, The correct feed speed is totally determined by the hardness and the thickness of the material being cut,
IMPORTANT: Feeding mustALWAYS be done with the blades perpendicular to the plane of the workpiece (See Fig. A). Feeding at an angle can burn the blade and damage the blade teeth (See Fig. B).
Selecting the correct feed speed Is important.
If the feed speed Is too slow:
1.The blades will only press down on the material rather than cutting it,
2.The blade edges glide and wear down the material.
3.A poor cut will resultand cause excessivewear on the blades
If the feed speed Is too fast:
1.There is a definite riskthat the cut mFghtsplitand the splintered opening of the cut winnot be sufficientto divertthe wood shavings.
2.A poor cut will resultwith a significantdischargeof wood shavingson the lower side of the cut.
