CONTOUR SAWING

•   

Contour cutting is guiding workpiece free-handed to 

   produce curved shapes. 

•   

Turn the workpiece carefully so the blade follows 

   without twisting. 

•   

Use a narrower blade to cut abrupt curves or make relief 

   cuts. 

BEVEL CUTTING 

•   Beveled cutting is to tilt saw table for the desired 

   degree. 

•   

Loosen locking handle to unlock table. 

•   

Rotate knob to tilt table to desired position.

•   

Lock table by tightening locking handle. 

Turn the switch to the “OFF” position and disconnect the 

machine from power source before servicing or 

disassembling any components.

CLEANING

•   Keep machine and workplace clean. Avoid 

   accumulation of sawdust on the tool.

•   Be certain motor is kept clean and free of dust. 

•   Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts 

   and plastic guards.

•   Keep wheels clean. Debris on wheels will cause poor 

   tracking and blade slippage. 

•   Make sure blade brush is in contact with blade to 

   properly remove foreign particles from drive wheel. 

LUBRICATION

•   The shielded ball bearings are permanently lubricated 

   and require no further lubrication. 

•   Small amount of oil can be applied to belt tension 

   assembly and thread or sliding surfaces. 

KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR

•   If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, do 

   not operate the machine.

•   Replace any worn, damaged, or missing parts. Use 

   parts listed to order parts. 

•   Any attempt to repair motor may create a hazard unless 

   repair is done by a qualified service technician. 

•   Call the customer line at 1-877-393-7121.
