Basic Saw Operations
Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports. The supports should be placed along the workpiece so the
workpiece does not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is positioned 4” or more from the
blade path. The support should let the workpiecelieflat on the base and work table during the
cutting operation.
Lubrication
Lubricate blade drive shaft (2 lube ports) with machine oil
before each use.
