9 FOREWORD Model 548 Bayonet Saw is designed for cutting materials of the following MAXIMUM thickness: Wood 2 1 / 2 ", Aluminum 3 / 4 ", Steel 1 / 4 ". SELECTING THE BLADE To obtain best results with your Porter-Cable bayonet saw, it is important that you use the right blade for the job.
10 To unlock the lock button, squeeze trigger allowing lock button free to spring out, and release. BASE INSERT Two base inserts, like the one shown in Fig. 3, are available to reduce splintering the top fibers of plywood and other splinter-prone materials.
11 One of the distinctive and important features of the Porter-Cable bayonet saw is the ability to start the cut (in wood only) within an area without making drilled holes first. This is especially important when making cut-outs for electric outlets in finished walls, openings in cabinet tops for sinks and openings for plumbing fixtures.
12 DO NOT FORCE, LET THE SAW DO THE WORK. Move saw forward only fast enough to keep blade cutting. If cutting becomes difficult, the blade is dull and should be changed at once. A dull blade not only makes cutting more difficult but also overburdens the motor.
13 KEEP TOOL CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear ANSI Z87.
