SAW, HAND, FINGER, GRIP

2-27

Do not exert heavy pressure or put the blade in a

bind. This can cause the blade to bend or break.

The saw has a wire saw blade with two finger grip rings for using

and has finger screws to adjust the saw blade. When using the

saw, keep the blade taut by pulling on one arm as the other arm

pulls the blade for cutting. Then reverse the arm action. Use

short strokes. If the blade breaks, unscrew the finger grip on the

shortest piece and insert the longest piece in the slot. Tighten the

thumb screw and continue sawing.
