METAL CUTTING

Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
tooth blade for non-ferrous metals. When cutting thin
sheet metals always clamp wood on both sides of the
sheet to reduce vibration or tearing of the sheet metal.
Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force
the cutting blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel
as they are harder materials and will take longer to cut.
Excessive blade force may reduce the life of the blade or
damage the motor. To reduce heat during metal cutting,
add a little lubricant along the cutting line.
