MACHINE PREPARATION and OPERATION
Making a Cut
1 Where possible, always clamp the work piece on a rigid
support.
2 Before starting the saw motor:
• Place front edge squarely on the work piece.
• Ensure that the blade is not touching the material
to be cut.
• Sight the cutting line with the line of the cut guide.
• Depress safety lock and trigger at same time. ( g. 7)
3 Allow the machine to come to full start.
4 Introduce the blade slowly so as not to damage the teeth
of the blade. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. Allow the speed of
the saw blade to do the work.
5 Using both hands, move the saw forward through the
work piece. Applying more pressure on the tool will not
improve cutting performance, but will reduce blade life.
Blade Guard Lever
1 When cutting thin materials (thickness of 1/4" and less) it
may be necessary to depress the blade guard lever. ( g. 8)
2 This will assist with reducing the potential for the blade
guard to bind or catch when starting the cut. ( g. 9)
3 Once the cut is started release blade guard lever. ( g. 10)
Do not use machine for
plunge cutting.
Serious injury could occur.
Adjustment of the Cutting Depth
With power to the saw turned OFF:
1 Release the lock to adjust to the required
cutting depth. ( g. 11)
2 Make sure that the blade protrudes at the
maximum cutting depth that the saw is
capable of in the material being cut. ( g. 12)
3 Tighten to lock into position. Check to ensure
that the lock will not loosen while being used.
NOTE: Metal cutting blades work best while having the maximum amount of blade engaged in the
cutting action. This distributes the cutting load among the teeth on the blade. This is the opposite of
how a wood cutting blade is used, where minimal blade protrusion allows the operator to make a cut
while minimizing the potential for the blade to become bound in the cut and produce material
tearout.
EXCEPTION: Metal grating is best cut by having the blade protrude very minimally beyond the
depth of the grating. The interrupted cuts that occur when cutting grating are very hard on the blade
and carbide tips.
