Before Using Metal Cutter

This tool is intended for cutting unhardened fer-
rous metal and nonferrous metal. Refer to the
“Accessories” section for a list of blades to be
used for the proper applications of this tool. The
following precautions must be followed to reduce
the risk of injury;
•Do not cut stacked materials. Cut one piece at a

time.

•Do not cut hardened steel.
•Cut materials with the wider edge of the shoe

over the clamped side of the material.

•Do not touch the saw blade, workpiece, or cutting

chips with bare hands immediately after cutting;
they may be hot and could burn skin.

Each time you use the metal cutter, you must
make sure it is in good operating condition.
Use the following checklist:

1.Is the blade installed in the correct direction?
The arrow on the blade must point in the same

direction as the arrow on the upper blade cover.

2.Is the blade installed properly?
Make sure the hex bolt is tightened securely.

(See Fig.12)

3.Does the blade look alright?
Replace the blade immediately if there are any

cracks in it or if any teeth are broken.

4.Does the lower guard close properly?

WARNING

To avoid injury, do not use the metal cutter if
the lower guard does not close quickly over
the blade.

5.Is the transparent guard securely installed?
6.Is the battery pack charged and inserted firmly to

the metal cutter?

7.Is the depth adjustment lever for cutting securely

tightened?

8.Is the workpiece securely clamped on a saw

horse or bench?
