English FIG. J 1. STARTING POSITION FOR POCKET CUTTING 2. ROCK TOOL UP TO NORMAL CUTTING POSITION AFTER BLADE HAS CUT THROUGH MATERIAL. 2 1 Metal Cutting (Fig. K) Your saw has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used and the metal to be cut. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for nonferrous materials. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will insure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember not to force cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage. NOTE: It is generally recommended that when cutting metals you should spread a thin film of oil or other lubricant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life. FIG. K MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week.
