OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece
during operation. If the shoe is held away from the
workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or
twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap
dangerously.
•
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
flying chips when cutting metal.
•
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection
which conforms with current national standards.
•
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cut-
