Cutting angles
Fig. A
CAUTION:
• Do NOT cut the workpiece as shown in the Fig. C
since this may cause it to be ejected from the vise,
possibly resulting in injury.
The saw blade is subjected to greater wear when the
area A in the Fig. B is cut. Place a wooden block up
against the workpiece as shown in the Fig. D so that the
saw blade will enter area A at an angle. This will help to
extend the saw blade life.
The allowable cutting dimensions are reduced when a
wooden block is used. Use a wooden block whose
dimensions are equivalent to the maximum allowable cut-
ting dimensions minus the dimensions of the workpiece

to be cut. This will further minimize the shortening of the
saw blade life.
Cutting pipes, squares and channels
The saw blade is subjected to greater wear when the
areas A and B in figure F and figure G are cut. Place a
wooden block up against the workpiece as shown in fig-
ure H and figure I so that the saw blade will enter areas A
and B at an angle. This will help to minimize the shorten-
ing of the saw blade life.
The allowable cutting dimensions are reduced when a
wooden block is used. Use a wooden block whose
dimensions are equivalent to the maximum allowable cut-
ting dimensions minus the dimensions of the workpiece
to be cut. This will further minimize the shortening of the
saw blade life.
