Irwin Hacksaw 12"

Overview

The Irwin 300mm Carbon Steel Hacksaw is a manually operated cutting tool intended for use with standard 300mm hacksaw blades.

The frame is manufactured from carbon steel and is designed to tension the blade securely during use. It is supplied with a blade and is intended for general cutting applications involving metal and other compatible materials.

Construction and Components

The hacksaw comprises a rigid carbon steel frame designed to support a 300mm blade.

The frame incorporates a handle to provide grip and control during cutting operations. The blade is mounted within the frame and held under tension to maintain alignment while cutting.

It is compatible with standard 300mm replacement hacksaw blades.

Intended Applications

This hacksaw is intended for manual cutting of metal sections and similar materials.

Typical applications include cutting metal bars, rods and small sections as part of installation, repair or maintenance work.

Installation and Use

Insert a compatible 300mm hacksaw blade into the frame, ensuring it is correctly seated in the blade mounts.

Apply tension using the frame’s tensioning mechanism to secure the blade before use.

During operation, maintain steady pressure and controlled strokes to achieve the required cut. Blade condition should be checked regularly and replaced when worn or damaged.

Handling and Storage

Store the hacksaw in a dry environment to reduce the risk of corrosion to the carbon steel frame and blade.

When not in use, ensure the blade is secured within the frame. Handle with care to avoid injury from the blade teeth.
