Sawing results will generally be more satisfactory if
the post and upper saw guide are kept as close as
possible to the material being cut. Doing so helps
reduce saw band vibration and contributes to more
accurate sawing.
The post can be lowered only when the saw
head s fully retracted.
When the saw head has been tlted, make sure
the post and saw gude wll clear the materal
and/or the vse jaws.
