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.
9.6
Plunge cutting
Clearly mark the line of cut, from a convenient starting point within the cut out area. Place the
tip of the blade over that point with saw parallel to the line of cut, slowly lower the saw until the
bottom edge of the shoe rests on the work piece and the blade is not touching the work piece.
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 work piece.
9.7
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.
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
10.1
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.
