Product Information
Full details
The Amtech Adjustable Hacksaw is an ideal tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople who need a versatile, reliable cutting solution for metal, plastic, or wood. Its primary strength lies in its adjustable frame, which accommodates common blade sizes to provide clean and accurate cuts; however, users should note that the frame requires manual tension adjustment to maintain blade straightness during heavy-duty applications.

FAQs
Can this saw use both 10-inch and 12-inch blades?
Yes, the adjustable frame is designed to accommodate both 250mm (10 inch) and 300mm (12 inch) blades.
What type of blade comes with the tool?
It comes with one 300mm (12 inch) 24 TPI carbon steel spare blade.
What is the primary material of the handle?
The handle is made of lightweight aluminium for a balanced, ergonomic feel.
How do I change the blade?
Loosen the tensioning wing nut until there is enough slack to unhook the blade from the pins, then insert the new blade and retighten.
Is this suitable for cutting thick steel rods?
It is capable of cutting most metals, but for extremely thick steel, use slow, steady strokes and consider using a cutting lubricant to extend blade life.
Which direction should the teeth face?
The teeth must face forward, away from the handle, so that the cutting action occurs on the push stroke.
Troubleshooting
Blade flexes or wanders during a cut
Increase the tension by tightening the wing nut at the rear of the handle until the blade is rigid.
Blade snaps frequently
Ensure you are using a light, steady pressure and let the teeth do the work. Avoid twisting the saw while in the cut.
Frame feels loose after adjustment
Verify that the frame locking pin has fully engaged in the chosen slot for your blade length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hacksaw, adjust the frame length by loosening the wing nut mechanism and locking it into the notch that corresponds to your blade size. Ensure the teeth of the blade point away from the handle before securing the blade pins. For longevity, periodically check the frame for signs of rust or wear. If you are working in environments prone to moisture, apply a light coat of machine oil to the steel frame to prevent corrosion. Always store the hacksaw in a dry place, and if the blade becomes dull, replace it immediately to avoid excessive force, which can bend the frame.
