Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE
TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
ALUMINUM CUTTING
Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or surface finish, may
require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement during the cut.
Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section,
as shown in Figure 31. Figure 32 illustrates the wrong way to cut these
extrusions. Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum.
Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply
stick wax to a moving blade.
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply
houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the
blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to pages 5 for correct saw
blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 33 and
never like that shown in Figure 34. Positioning the material incorrectly will
cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like
wood and
CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT
FROM ROLLING
. This is extremely important when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit
beneath the blade guard. A little extra height can be gained by rolling the
guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure 28. Avoid doing this as much
as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the
bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN
WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off
the tool and disconnect it from the power source before attempting
to move it, change accessories or make any adjustments accept as
written in laser adjustment instructions.
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the
vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard
is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no
further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER
the base and the rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow
debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace
the brushes refer to
Brushes
on page 8 or return the tool to the
nearest service center for repair. A list of service center locations is
packed with your tool.
