NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred. Fig. J Pocket Cutting - Wood Only (Fig. K) Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber. 1. Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely. 2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the pivoting shoe is firmly on the work surface. 3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain maximum speed. 4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw. 5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with pocket cut. NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the pivoting shoe as a guide. Fig. K 2 1 Project Tips • Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting. • When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe is resting against the workpiece. This will improve operator control and minimize vibration. • For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
