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 work-
piece, 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.
