Using The Saw - Skil 9206 Guide D'utilisation

USING THE SAW

1. Securely clamp the work.
2. Mark the line of cut and grasp the tool with one hand on the handle and the other placed on
the insulated rubber boot over the front housing.
WARNING
cuted.
3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the work to minimize counter-force (jumping) and
vibration.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the saw reach full speed before starting the cut.
Guide the saw so that the blade will move along the marked line.
Sawing tips
Following a few simple tips will reduce the wear on the workpiece, the tool and the operator.
1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc.,
place the good side of workpiece facing down.
2. Use the correct saw blade for the material being cut and keep extra blades on hand to use
when others become dull. Replace cracked or bent blades immediately.
3. Select the footplate projection settings, as
well as the appropriate cutting speed.
4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade
always extends beyond the footplate and
work throughout the stroke. Blades may
shatter if the front on the blade hits the work
and/or the footplate.
5. When cutting metal:
Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother, faster
–
cutting and longer blade life.
For non-ferrous metals, aluminum, bronze or
–
brass, use a stick wax on the blade.
For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use
–
machine or cutting oil along the surface to be
cut.
6. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the
material between two pieces of scrap wood. Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of
lumber on top of the metal can be used with adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or
design on the wood.
7. Don't force the cutting. Let the saw and blade do the work.
Always hold the saw by the insulated boot on the front housing. If you saw
into a blind area where live wiring exists, you may be shocked or electro-
