10.1 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 touching the workpiece) and start the saw, exerting enough pressure in the
direction of the cut to keep the shoe pressed firmly against the workpiece at all times. Do not
force the cut or stall the saw. Do not 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. Replace blades when they
become dull. Dull blades will produce poor results and may overheat the saw.
10.2 PLUNGE CUTTING
Clearly mark the line of the cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut-out area. Place
the tip of the blade over that point with the saw parallel to the line of the cut, then slowly lower
the saw until the bottom edge of the shoe rests on the workpiece and the blade is not touching
the workpiece.
Start the saw and allow it to attain full speed. With the saw resting on the shoe, slowly tilt the
saw forward to lower the blade onto the cut line. Continue this motion until the saw blade is
perpendicular to the workpiece.
10.3 METAL CUTTING
Blades specifically designated for cutting metals must be used for this purpose.
You may use light oil as a coolant when cutting metal, this will prevent overheating of the blade,
help the blade cut faster, and promote longer blade life.
11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
11.1 CLEANING
Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off, use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These
solvents may damage the plastic parts.
