Troubleshooting
Blade is loose or won't tighten
Ensure the blade tang is correctly seated in the rear clamp and the screw clamp is clean and free of obstructions. Tighten firmly.
Blade breaks easily
Verify you are using the correct type of blade (HSS-bi-metal) and that it is tensioned correctly. Avoid excessive force; let the blade do the work.
Difficulty cutting material
Check blade tension and ensure the teeth are sharp and clean. Make sure you are using appropriate pressure and a steady sawing motion.
Handle feels uncomfortable during extended use
Consider wearing work gloves for added comfort and grip. Take short breaks during prolonged tasks.
