PLUNGE CUTTING (Figure 6)
Mark the line of the cut clearly. Choose a
convenient starting point inside the area to be cut
out and place the tip of the blade over that point.
Rest the front edge of the base (shoe) on the
work area and hold firmly in position. Depress
the lock-off button, then pull trigger switch to
start the cutting action.
WARNING: Make sure the blade does not touch
work until motor reaches full speed, since this
could cause loss of control resulting in serious
injury.
With the saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward until the tip
of the blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates work, tilt saw until blade
is perpendicular to the work.
METAL CUTTING (Figure 7)
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 object 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 plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate
vibration and material tearing.
MAINTENANCE OF THE SAW:
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from your saw when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or removing blades,
cleaning or when not in use. Removing the battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc., come in to contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that may damage, weaken or destroy the plastic.
Use only clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. Chemical solvents can
damage the plastic.
