Peerless Power Hacksaw

Procedure

Startup

1. Check over the machine for unsafe conditions.
2. Check that the coolant flows properly and is topped off
3. Set your part in the vise in a safe manner. Ensure the part won’t slip while you cut. Place the part to have the most uniform amount of material while cutting.
4. Turn on the machine with the black switch. {B}
5. Control speed with silver knob. {C} Ensure the blade is not being overworked. (NOTE: The silver knob actually allows the blade to be lifted if turned all the way counterclockwise. So you should try to find the sweet spot where the blade starts moving downwards to start.)

2. Press the green button on either the control panel {B} or to the left of the blade {A}, beneath the cutting head, to start the blade. Begin your cut.
3. Listen to the machine, if it sounds funny to you, use your instincts and stop the machine or slow down your cut.
4. Once the cut is finished and the blade has stopped moving lift the saw with the rounded red button {B} until it is fully raised away from the part and take the part out.
5. Never reach into the path of the moving blade!
