BASIC SAW OPERATION 

General Cutting Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the following functions of the Metal-Cutting saw 

before connecting it to a power source and using it.

1. When starting this Metal-Cutting saw for the first time or after it has  

  been idle for awhile, always let the machine run for one full minute  

  with the blade completely recessed into the guard before making any  

  cuts. If any unknown defects in the blade exist, they typically cause  

  breakage within the first minute of operation. If the blade wobbles or  

  vibrates, discard and replace immediately.

2. When beginning a cut with the saw, care should be exercised not to bump or slam the blade 

  into the work; once it has entered, continue the cut with an even smooth stroke. The faster a  

  cut is made the less heat is created in the work piece, preventing discoloring, and blade life is  

  prolonged. Cut with maximum force without overloading the motor.

3. When cutting long, heavy pieces, use an outboard support to prevent them from tipping the saw  

  or falling down after they are cut.

4. When transporting the saw secure the motor mount to the base to prevent damage.

5. When cut-off blade comes up to full speed, push the handle to begin cutting. It is important to  

  cut with steady and even pressure (Do Not Force) in order to obtain a uniform cut.

Adjusting the Stationary Vise

The stationary vise can be repositioned by loosening the adjustment 

bolts, sliding the fence to the desired position and retightening the bolts. 

The maximum width capacity is approximately 7-¼” at 90° / 5” at 45°.

Changing the Cutting Angle 

The vise can be adjusted from 0° to 45°.

1. Loosen bolt on back vise jaw. Pivot to desired cutting angle. 

2. Tighten bolt
