OPERATION
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.
Choose a convenient starting point inside the cutting area
and place the tip of the blade over that point.
Rest the front edge of the shoe assembly on the workpiece
and hold it firmly in position during the cut.
Depress the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
reach full cutting speed.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece
until the motor reaches full speed. Failure to heed
this warning can cause you to lose control of the
saw and result in serious injury.
Tilt the saw downward until the tip of the blade starts
cutting the workpiece.
Allow the saw to penetrate the workpiece.
Tilt the saw until the blade is perpendicular to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
Blades longer than 6 in. can whip and should not
be used for plunge cutting. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may
contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products and,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING:
Cutting into electrical wiring can cause the blade,
the blade clamp, and the saw bar assembly to
become electrically live. Do not touch metal parts
when cutting into a wall; grasp only the insulated
surfaces on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical
wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are
not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.
METAL CUTTING
page 13
See Figure 12,
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the saw.
Observe 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 and cut close to the clamping
point 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 shoe assembly to hold
it securely against the workpiece.
