Usage Tips

Select the appropriate TPI for your material (ensure at least 3 teeth are in contact with the material). Install blade with teeth pointing forward (away from handle). Apply steady, moderate pressure – avoid forcing the blade. Use the full length of the blade with smooth, even strokes at a consistent speed. For best results on hard metals, use cutting fluid or oil. Replace blade when cutting becomes slow or teeth become dull.

• Mild steel, iron – 24 TPI, steady pressure and speed
• Thin tubing, sheet metal – 32 TPI to prevent tooth snagging
• Plastic pipes, PVC – 18-24 TPI, slow speed to prevent melting
• Threaded rod, bolts – 24-32 TPI for clean cuts

Blade Installation

Loosen hacksaw frame tension. Remove old blade if present. Insert new blade with teeth pointing away from the handle (forward direction). Ensure blade is properly seated in the pins at both ends. Tighten frame tension until blade is taut but not over-tensioned. Check that blade is straight and aligned before cutting.
