OPERATION
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 7, page 10.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, brass,
and copper may be cut with the hybrid saw. Be careful not to
twist or bend the saw blade.
Do not force. We recommend
cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil will also keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and
prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work
in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin
sheet material, sandwich the material between hardboard
or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and
material tearing.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of thesechemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
