Safety First
Hazard Analysis
  1. Injury from blade snapping, or workpiece breakage. Eye Protection Required
  2. Injury from sharp blade.
  3. Cuts / scrapes from metal chips and sharp cut edges of workpiece.
  4. Prevent drawn-in injuries. No loose clothing or gloves.
  5. Tool can overturn when saw frame lifted.
Use For Do Not Use For
  • Mild Steel
  • Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, Brass, Bronze, Copper
  • Hardened Steel
  • Thin sheet/ plate
  • Angle, Tube, or other stock that is too thin-walled to provide adequate blade engagement. Use the 3 TOOTH RULE

Basic Operation Instructions

  1. Perform a safety check prior to use.
    • Check blade before cutting for dull or missing teeth.
  2. Lift the Saw Arm and use the lever on the Hydraulic Control Valve to stop the downward motion of the blade.
    • Avoid touching the blade tension knob.
  3. Securely clamp the workpiece into the Machine’s Vise using the Vise Hand Wheel.
    • Workpiece must fill the vise to at least center of the vise in order to be secure.
    • Do not risk damage to yourself or the machine by clamping a workpiece insecurely.
    • Orient work in the vise to maximize length of blade engagement.
    • If the workplace is long, use support to keep the material level with the vise, and plan for the free side of the workpiece to safely fall once the cut is complete.
    • If the cut starts on a sharp edge of the workpiece, dull that edge with a file.
  4. (Optional) to fine tune cut location, use the Travel Speed Dial and the Travel Start / Stop Lever to lower the blade close to (but not touching) the workpiece.
  5. Flip the Power Switch to start machine.
    • Make sure blade is NOT in contact with workpiece prior to starting motor.
  6. Perform the cut.
    • Flip the Travel Start/Stop Lever and let the machine automatically lower the blade into the workpiece. Do not manually lift or press the blade arm during the cut.
    • Speed can be adjusted using the Travel Speed Dial. If workpiece smokes at any point during cut, use the Travel Speed Dial to slow the cut speed.
    • The machine will turn itself off when the cut is done. (The Auto Shutoff Tab will flip the Power Switch.)

On Angled Cuts

  • Use the bolts on the Machine Vise for adjustments. The degree scale for is for quick and approximate adjustments — use a protractor when high accuracy is needed.
