Workpiece Support (Fig. 5)
CUTTING SHEETS OF METAL
The figures to the right show the correct and incorrect way to
support large sheet. To avoid kickback, support material near the
cut. Do not support it away from the cut. If material is supported
away from the cut, it will bind the blade and cause kickback.
When cutting thin strips, keep the blade at least 1/2" (approximately
13 mm) from the edge of the material. Thin strips may bind, causing
kickback and increasing the risk of personal injury.

CUTTING RECTANGULAR METAL STOCK
Clamp the material you plan to cut to a workbench or other work
surface as shown above.
Cutting (Fig. 6, 7)
1. Hold the saw securely using both hands.
The figure shows appropriate hand
position. Keep your body to one side
of the line along which you are cutting.
This willprotect you from injury related to
kickback.
2. When cutting ends off of rec tangular
met al 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.
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.
