Instructions for use
Caution
Always keep in mind the following safety precautions:
•
Make sure the blade guides and push lever are positioned and adjusted correctly
to prevent back and forth movement of the blade. Adjust the upper fence to clear
the workpiece.
• Check to make sure the blade is tensioned and working properly. Do not over
tighten or loosen the saw blade too much to avoid movement and vibration that
may cause malfunction.
•
Use a saw blade suitable for the cutting operation.
• After starting the saw, allow the blade to reach full speed before attempting any
cutting operations.
• Support the workpiece properly and use a smooth, steady feed to guide the work
through the cut. Use push levers or push blocks when necessary.
• Keep hands away and out of reach of moving parts.
•
Always wear eye protection.
