2. When cutting ends off of rectangular metal stock, place the widest
part of the shoe on the part of the material that is clamped to the
workbench or other support, not on the part of the material that
will fall when the cut is made.
3. Depress the trigger switch and allow the saw to reach full speed
before the blade contacts the material to be cut (Fig. 11).

4. Push the saw forward at a speed that allows the blade to cut
without laboring.
5. As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to stop
before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw, the guard
will automatically close under the blade.
CORRECTING A CUT
Should your cut begin to leave the cutting line, don't try to force it
back on. Forcing a correction can stall the saw and cause kickback.
Instead, release the switch and allow the blade to come to a complete
stop. Then, back the saw out of the cut. Restart the saw and re-enter
the cut, following the desired cutting line.
CAUTION: Do not cut through bolts with the metal-cutting saw.
Damage to the saw or personal injury could result.
Maximizing Blade Life
To extend blade life, follow these practices:
• Do not force the blade through the metal. The saw must cut at its
own pace and at a constant rate.
• Keep base of the saw firmly against metal you are cutting.
• If the metal you are cutting is vibrating or shaking, clamp the
material as close to the cut as possible and slow down the cutting
rate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect it from power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
Replacing Sight Window (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate the saw with a damaged or missing
sight or front window. If window is damaged or missing, have the
saw serviced at an authorized service center. If the saw is operated
without the window, metal chips could fly through the guard and
cause personal injury.
The sight window (J) must be replaced by an authorized D
service center.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
CAUTION: Do not use any cleaning fluids on the sight window or
the front window to avoid clouding them and compromising the safe
operation of the saw. Use compressed air to remove accumulated
dust from the inside of the sight and front windows. Wear safety
glasses when performing this.
