OPERATION
FLUSH CUTTING
See Figure 10.
Your saw has been designed with a flush cutting feature which permits cutting close to floors or walls. To fit your cutting requirements, cuts may be made in either direction by reversing the position of the blade in the blade clamp. See page 8 for instructions on installing Flush Cutting Blade.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 11.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass, and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade. DO NOT FORCE. We recommend cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting oil will also keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could |
|
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the |
|
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being |
|
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a |
|
vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin sheet |
|
material, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or | Fig. 9 |
plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and | |
material tearing. |

LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
