the wood while cutting. Don’t force the tool; let the blade
cut at its own speed. When the cut is complete, turn the jig
saw off. Let blade come to a complete stop and then lay the
saw aside before loosening thework.
Metal Cutting
In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood
to the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut
without the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always
remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those
that have a high iron content); and use a coarser blade for
non-ferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).
Use a high speed setting for cutting soft metals (aluminum,
copper, brass, mild steel, galvanized pipe, conduit, sheet
metal, etc.). Use lower speed to cut plastics, tile, laminate,
hard metals, and castiron.
