Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hacksaw, ensure the blade is installed with the teeth pointing forward (away from the handle). Use the tensioning screw at the rear of the frame to tighten the blade until it produces a high-pitched tone when plucked.
Compatibility: This saw accepts standard 12-inch (300mm) hacksaw blades.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the frame clean of metal filings, as these can interfere with the storage compartment latch.
- Lightly oil the tensioning screw occasionally to prevent seizing.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the bi-metal blades.
