For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
l It is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the cutter firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
•Figure 7 shows proper cutting position.
•Note that hands are kept away from cutting
area.
•Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
•When cutting, do not try to hold the material
with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth
of the cut so that you only cut through the
workpiece, not through the supports. (See
Fig.8)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not
correctly supported. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the
workpiece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
kickback. (See Fig.9)
•Don't support the material away from the
cut.
Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least
1" from the edge of the workpiece to avoid
injury or damage to the tool caused by thin
strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
•Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
•When making an incomplete cut or cutting
is interrupted, or blade is binding or cutter is
stalling; release the power switch immediately
and hold the cutter motionless in the material
until the blade comes to a complete stop.
•To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove
the cutter from the work or pull the cutter
backward while the blade is in motion. Make
sure the blade has come to a complete stop,
then remove cutter from cut.
•To resume cutting, start metal cutter, allow
the blade to reach full speed, reenter the cut
slowly and resume cutting.
