6.3 CUTTING
See Figure 6.
Hold your saw firmly in front of you at a safe distance. Make sure the saw blade is free of foreign bodies. Ensure that the
workpiece is held firmly. Small workpieces should be securely clamped in a vice or clamped to a work bench or table. Mark
the cutting line clearly. Press the lock button and then squeeze the trigger to start the saw. Press the shoe onto the workpiece
and then move the blade into the workpiece. Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Let the blade
and saw do the work. Use of excessive pressure bending or twisting the blade may break the blade.
6.4 CUTTING INTO A FLAT SURFACE
See Figure 7.
Mark the cutting line clearly. Choose a convenient starting point inside the area to be cut out and position the tip of the blade
over that point. Rest the front edge of the shoe on the workpiece and hold the saw firmly in that position. Press the lock
button and then squeeze the trigger to start the saw.
WARNING:
Make sure that the blade does not come in contact with the workpiece until the motor reaches full speed, as this
could cause loss of control resulting in serious injury.
When the saw blade is at full cutting speed, slowly tilt the saw until the tip of blade starts cutting into the workpiece.
When the blade has cut into the workpiece, continue tilting until the saw blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.
6.5 CUTTING METAL
See Figure 8.
Metals such as thin sheet steel, steel rods, aluminium, brass and copper may be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist or
bend the saw blade. Do not force. Cutting oil should be used when cutting most soft metals or steel. Cutting oil will also
keep the blade cool, improve the cutting efficiency and prolong the blade life.
Never use petrol as sparks from the motor could ignite the vapour. Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration. When cutting pipes or angles, clamp the workpiece in a vice if possible and cut close to
the vice. To cut thin sheet metal, sandwich the sheet between hardboard or plywood sheets and clamp them together to
avoid vibration and prevent the sheet from tearing.
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Use only manufacturer's original replacement parts. Using any other spare part may be dangerous or damage your
saw.
Do not use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics may be damaged by commonly available solvents. Use a
clean cloth to remove dirt, carbon deposit, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluid, petrol, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with the
plastic parts. These may contain substances that can damage, weaken or destroy plastics.
DO NOT overload your saw. Forcing your saw can damage it as well as the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or use accessories that are not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modification is considered to be misuse and may be dangerous and lead to serious personal injury.
