METAL CUTTING
The saw can be used to cut metals, such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper. Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
Do not force.
The use of cutting oil is recommended when cutting soft metals and steel.
Cutting oil will keep the blade cool, increase cutting action, and prolong
blade life.
WARNING! Never use gasoline, because normal sparking could ignite the
fumes.
1. Securely clamp the workpiece in position, and make the cut close to the
clamping point in order to minimize vibration of the work being cut.
2. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vise, if
possible, and cut close to the vise.
3. To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between pieces of
hardboard or plywood, and clamp the layers together in order to reduce
vibration and tearing of the material.
