FAQs
What type of blade is included with the hacksaw?
The Teng Tools 701N1 comes with one 300mm (12-inch) High-Speed Steel (HSS) blade with 24 Teeth Per Inch (TPI).
Can I use this hacksaw for materials other than metal?
Yes, by changing the blade. For wood, you would need a wood-cutting blade, and for plastics, a blade with finer teeth (higher TPI) is recommended.
How do I tension the hacksaw blade correctly?
Insert the blade, then tighten the tension knob until the blade is taut. A correctly tensioned blade should produce a 'ping' sound when flicked lightly.
What are the benefits of the ergonomic handle?
The ergonomic aluminium handle with a soft rubber grip is designed to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during prolonged cutting tasks, providing a more comfortable and secure user experience.
What is the overall length of the hacksaw?
The overall length of the Teng Tools 701N1 Ergonomic Hacksaw is 395mm.
How do I switch between cutting angles?
The hacksaw features an adjustable cutting angle mechanism, allowing you to set the blade to 45° or 90° relative to the frame. Consult the manual or product information for specific instructions on how to adjust this feature.
Troubleshooting
Blade breaks during use.
Ensure the blade is correctly tensioned. Check that you are using the appropriate blade for the material being cut and that the blade is not bent or damaged.
Hacksaw feels loose or unstable.
Check that the blade tension knob is fully tightened. Ensure the blade is securely hooked onto the frame posts.
Difficulty making straight cuts.
Ensure the material is securely clamped. Check your grip and stance for stability. The angle of the blade teeth should face away from you during the push stroke.
Angle adjustment is stiff or stuck.
Clean any debris from the angle locking mechanism. Apply a small amount of penetrating oil if necessary and work the mechanism back and forth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ergonomic design reduces user fatigue.
- Adjustable cutting angles offer versatility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the hacksaw is clean and free of debris.
- To insert or change the blade, loosen the tension knob at the end of the frame.
- Align the holes on the blade with the hooks at the front and rear of the hacksaw frame.
- Hook the blade onto the front and rear posts.
- Tension the blade by tightening the tension knob until the blade is taut. A correctly tensioned blade should produce a 'ping' sound when flicked.
- Select the desired cutting angle (45° or 90°) by adjusting the angle locking mechanism.
Compatibility:
- The hacksaw is designed to accept standard 300mm (12-inch) hacksaw blades.
- For cutting different materials (e.g., aluminum, thin sheet metal, hardened steel), ensure you use blades with the appropriate TPI (Teeth Per Inch) and material composition (e.g., bi-metal blades).
Care:
- After use, clean the blade and frame with a dry cloth to remove metal filings and dust.
- Store the hacksaw in a dry place to prevent rust.
- Loosen blade tension when storing for extended periods to prolong blade and frame life.
- Periodically check the tension knob and angle locking mechanism for proper function.
