Operation (continued)
8.When cutting metal, use a nail and score the cutting line prior to cutting so that the blade will stay on a straight course. Metal heats up quickly
when cutting due to blade friction. To avoid ruining your blade and insure a clean cut, use cutting oil (not included) as a cooling agent. Apply a few drops where the blade meets the workpiece as shown in Figure 7. Continue to keep the area lubricated throughout the operation.
Maintenance

1.After each use, blow out the saw with compressed air.
2.Wipe the saw clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvent to clean saw.
3.Check the blade prior to each use. If the blade is bent or has broken teeth, replace. Blades are available at Harbor Freight Tools.
