Metal Cutting

You may use the saw to cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the equipped metal blade.
Pay attention to the following tips when metal cutting:
• Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
• Do not force the tool and use a slow speed.
• Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting action,
and prolongs blade life.
• Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes.
• Clamp the workpiece firmly to eliminate any vibration of
the work. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp
the workpiece 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.
• Always keep firm pressure on the guide plate to hold it
securely against the workpiece.
