Setting Up the Machine for Operation
1. Select the proper speed and blade for the
type of material you are going to cut.
2. Make sure blade tension is adjusted properly.
3. Lift the saw bow up and turn OFF the
descent ON/OFF valve (A).
4. Place the material between the vise jaws, set
the material for the desired length of cut and
tighten the vise.
5. Make sure the left blade guide bracket (B) is
adjusted as close as possible to the left vise
jaw.
6. Turn the descent ON/OFF valve (A) to the
ON position and turn the descent control
valve (C) counter-clockwise until the saw
blade begins to lower at the desired rate.
7. Proceed to cut through the workpiece. The
machine will shut off upon completion of cut.
Adjusting Blade Guide Brackets
The blade guides should be set as close to the vise jaws as possible. The right blade guide
bracket (D) is not adjustable to prevent inference with the right hand vise jaw.
The left blade guide bracket (B) can be moved to the left or right depending on the size of the
workpiece.
1. To move the left blade guide bracket (B), loosen the hand knob (located on the back of the
bracket), position blade guide bracket as close to the work piece without interfering with the
material, blade, or vise.
2. Tighten the hand knob.
