Westward Operating Instructions and Manual
If the blade teeth become clogged when cutting soft
metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser blade with
fewer teeth per inch. Use kerosene when cutting soft
metals and oil when cutting steel to keep the blade
cool in order to extend the blade life. Clamp all work
firmly and saw as close as possible to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration of the work being cut.
Clamp the workpiece in a vise and try to saw as close
as possible to it when cutting conduit, pipe, or angle
iron. To cut thin sheet materials, "sandwich" the
material between hardboard or plywood and clamp
the layers to eliminate material vibration and tearing.
Lay out your pattern or cutting lines on top of the
"sandwich".

It has been found that electric tools are subjected to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
when they are used on fiberglass, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to
electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. During any use on these materials,
it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
