WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the product when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal injury.
METAL CUTTING
See Figure 7, page 10.
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the saw.
Observe the following tips when metal cutting:
Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
Do not
force the tool and use a slow speed.
Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel. Cutting
oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting action,
and prolongs blade life.
Never
use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could
ignite fumes.
Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping
point to eliminate any vibration of the work. When cutting
conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the workpiece in a vise
if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin sheet
material, “sandwich” the material between hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and
material tearing.
Always keep firm pressure on the shoe assembly to hold
it securely against the workpiece.
