Wilton power hacksaw model 5011

[joe297]

I acquired a Wilton power hacksaw model 5011 at the cabin fever show
If anyone has a manual, I would like to negotiate for a copy.
My prime question though, is "does it cut on the forward stroke (away from the motor) or the reverse stroke?"

Thank you

Two ways to test it:

1) Put the blade in one way and test. if no go reverse the blade.

2) Observe the motion. If it lifts at one end that's the direction to cut.

Pretty well every power hacksaw cuts on the back stroke i.e. the end on which the crank is mounted.

Hope this helps
