Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer
at its designed rate. Feed the saw into the workpiece
only fast enough to let the blade cut without
bogging down or binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Turn saw "OFF" by releasing trigger switch.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the metal-cutting saw.
After finishing a cut:
• Keep holding the power head down.
• Release the switch, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands.
Before leaving the saw:
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power
off. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Make workshop child.proof. Lock the shop.
Disconnect master switches. Store tool away from
children and other not qualified to use the tool.
Basic saw operations
General cutting instructions
WARNING: Always securely fix the material to be
cut by using the vise.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses and
protective gloves when operating the metal-cutting
saw.
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from power
source before making any adjustment.
Familiarize yourself with the following functions
of the metal-cutting saw before connecting it to a
power source and using it.
1. When starting this metal-cutting saw for the
first time or after it has been idle for awhile,
always let the machine run for one full minute
with the wheel completely recessed into the
guard before making any cuts. If there any
unknown defects in the wheel that could cause
breakage they usually would do so within the
first minute of operation. If the wheel wobbles
or vibrates, discard and replace immediately.
2. When beginning a cut with the saw, care
should be exercised no to bump or slam the
wheel into the work; once it has entered,
continue the cut with an even smooth stroke.
The faster a cut is made the less heat is created
in the workpiece, preventing discolouring, and
wheel life is prolonged. Cut with maximum
force with out overloading the motor.
3. Use an outboard support when cutting long,
heavy piece to prevent them from tipping the
saw or falling down after they are cut.
4. When transporting the saw secure the motor
mount to the base to prevent damage.
5. When cut-off wheel comes up to full speed,
push the handle to begin cutting. It is important
to cut with steady and even pressure (do not
force) in order to obtain a uniform cut.
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected saw
movement:
a. Before moving the saw, lock the power
head in the lower position. Unplug electric
cord.
b. To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting. Bend your knees so
you can lift with your legs, not your back.
Life by using the hand-hold areas at each
side of the bottom of the base or by the
carrying handle.
c. Never carry saw by the power cord or the
trigger grip of the plastic hadle. Carrying the
tool by the power cord could cause damage
to the insulation or the wire connections
resulting in electric shock o fire.
d. Place the saw or other people cannot stand
behind it. Thrown debris could injury people
in its path.
e. Place the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the workpiece.
f. Support the saw so the table is level and
the saw does not rock.
g. Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
