A dust port that fits 4” hose is provided to accommodate

Be sure to use appropriate sized hose and fittings (not

Check that all connections are sealed tightly to help
minimize airborne dust. If you do not already own
a dust collection system consider contacting your

sories or visit our Web Site at

CONNECTING TO A DUST COLLECTOR
CUTTING CURVES
• When cutting curves, carefully turn the workpiece so the blade follows without twisting. If the curve is so sharp
that you repeatedly back up and cut new kerf, use a narrower blade, or a blade with more set (teeth further
apart). When a blade has more set, the workpiece turns easier but the cut is rougher.
• When changing a cut, do not withdraw the workpiece from the blade. The blade may get drawn off the
wheels.
• To change a cut, turn the workpiece and cut your way out through the waste material area.
• When cutting long curves, make relief cuts as you go along.

Blade width
• Adjust the blade guard assembly to 1/8” above
the workpiece.
• Use both hands while feeding the work into the
blade. Hold the workpiece firmly against the ta-
ble. Use gentle pressure. Do not force the work. Al-
low the blade to cut.
• The smallest diameter circle that can be cut is de-
termined by the width of the blade. For example,
a 1/4” wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of
approximately 1 1/2”.
