METAL CUTTING

See Figure 7, page 7.
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the saw (metal cutting
blade sold separately).
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 setting.

Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel.

Cutting oil keeps the blades cool, increases cutting
action, and prolongs blade life.

parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard

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.
