When you lube with wax, how do you do it - just press it against the
blase while its running, let it cut through it, rub it on while it's not
running, ...??? I ask 'cuz I just press the tube against the blade
while it's running, but if there's better ways, I'm open.

Hey Guys!
A word of caution... Ours saws will shut off after the cut is over, so
we can go about our business. Whoa! that's what I thought!
I was cutting a 1" x 4" bar of aluminum. (i don't know the alloy number)
I was using a 14 tpi, bi-metal blade at the middle speed, and almost
full tension on the spring adjustment. I was cutting dry.
Lucky for me, I was close by. The saw started making a different noise,
and I checked on it. When the welded spot on the blade passed the
stock, the different noise would occur.
Next the blade started stalling and the motor made a clicking noise (the
start switch would open and close). I shut the saw off. If I had not,
the motor would most likely would have gone up in smoke!
I started the saw up again and lubricated the blade with paraffin. I had
no more stalling, even with another complete cut.
Hope this helps,
Leo (in pearland, home of lots of fig trees)
