shock from unseen "live" wires.
3. Always hold the tool firmly. DO NOT leave the tool running unless hand held.
4. Check your work area for proper clearances before cutting. This will avoid cutting
into your workbench, the floor, etc.
5. Do not cut oversized work pieces.
6. DO NOT cut nails or screws unless you are using a blade specifically designed for
this purpose. Inspect your material before cutting.
7. Before switching on the tool, be sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece.
8. Keep hands away from moving parts and on the top surface of the workpiece. Do
not place hands below work surface while saw is operating.
9. Always allow the blade to completely stop before removing from the workpiece. Do
not touch the blade, it is hot and may cause a serious burn.
OPERATION
Tool Uses
This tool is designed to cut wood, metal, plastic, and composites.
Installing the Blade
Check that the blade you are inserting matches the material you are cutting. Start with a
sharp blade. Depress the quick release blade clamp as far as it will go toward the direction
of the tool body. Slip the new blade into blade clamp as far as it will go. Release the blade
clamp. The new blade should now be securely fastened.
Turning the Tool On
To turn the tool on, depress the trigger release button located on either side of the trigger
handle while depressing the variable speed switch. The tool CAN NOT be locked in the on
posistion for your safty.
Using Variable Speed
The variable speed is controlled by the amount of pressure being applied to the switch.
Maximun speed will be obtained when the switch is fully depressed.
Slower Speeds: starting cuts, plastics, soft aluminum, some stainless steel
Faster Speeds: aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, various woods
Cutting Action
The hand saw blade is doing most of its cutting as it travels towards the operator.
Depending on the type of material and cutting speed, this can cause splintering on the
surface of the workpiece that is facing the operator. Therefore, if possible, position yourself
or the workpiece so that the desired "good" side of the workpiece is facing away from the
operator.
General Cutting
Clamp your workpiece if it is portable. Rest the front shoe of the saw on your workpiece (be
sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece) and start the saw. Start the cut, exerting
enough pressure in the direction of the cut to keep the blade cutting, and enough forward
pressure to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece at all times. Do not force the
cut or stall the saw. Don't bend or twist the blade. Let the tool and the blade do the work.
In general, coarser blades are for wood, plastics, and composites, and finer blades are for
cutting metal. Chattering or vibration may indicate you need a finer blade or higher speed.
If the blade overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser blade or slower speed
setting. Replace blades when they become dull. Dull blades will produce poor results and
may overheat the saw.
