A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, mainly used for cutting metal or plastic. The equivalent saw for cutting wood is called a bow saw.



Hacksaws only cut on the push stroke. Reduce your downward pressure when pulling the blade back to reset your stroke.



Prepare Before Use

• Secure your material with clamps if it is not secured to a structure.

• Select the appropriate blade

• Harder steel blades are required for cutting thick steel

• More teeth will produce a finer cut while fewer, larger teeth will cut faster and leave a rough edge.

• Tighten the wing nut or tightening mechanism to desired tension.

• Mark your cut path with a firm push stroke.



Tool Tips

• Hacksaws only cut on the push stroke. Reduce your downward pressure when pulling the blade back to reset your stroke to save energy and preserve your blade’s sharpness.

• Add a drop of machine oil to metal cuts to reduce heat, lower friction, and minimize the spread of fine metal particles.

• Rough edges can be filed down or sanded.



Eye Protection and Gloves are highly recommended when cutting metal!
