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.
