PRECAUTIONS ON USING METAL CUTTER
1.
Always use the correct electric power source
voltage which is indicated on the name plate on
the metal cutter.
2.
Do not fix the protective cover permanently in
place so that it does not move. Check to see that
it moves smoothly.
3.
Use the tipped saw by following the use limitations
indicated on the name plate.
Do not use a tipped saw with bottom blade
diameter of 165 mm or less.
4.
Place the materials to be cut on a stable table or
bench.
5.
Just before and after the piece has been cut all
the way through, be sure the tipped saw blade
does not get caught between the two pieces
because of the weight of the cut off portion of
the material. Prevent this by supporting the piece
being cut off by placing it on a table or bench.
6.
If the piece being cut off is large, support it by
using a stable table or bench. If the cut is to be
made on a work piece lying on a flat surface, keep
the tipped saw blade from touching the surface
below and causing the saw to move by making
sure that the height of the work piece is elevated
above the surface under the work piece at least
three times the distance that tipped saw blade
projects from the saw.
