Operation
WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
To cut a piece of wood, first
determine that it's the right size for
the saw. Place the wood on the saw
table and hold it firmly against the
fence. If the piece you're working
with is smaller than 6" long and
would cause your hand to be within
6" of the saw blade. TURN OFF
AND UNPLUG THE SAW and
clamp the wood to the fence before
cutting it.
Do not attempt to hold small
pieces. NEVER ATTEMPT ANY
FREE HAND CUTTING WITH
THIS SAW. (Free hand cutting is
cutting wood that is not held
firmly against the fence and the
saw table. Support long work with
an outboard work rest.)
Cutting Tips
WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
The smoothness of any cut de­
pends on a number of variables. Things
like materia! being cut. blade type, blade
sharpness and rate of cut all combine to
affect the quality of the cut.
When cutting framing lumber or
other types of lumber where cut smooth­
ness IS not a point of concern, high cut­
ting rate coupled with a sharp general
purpose blade will produce satisfactory
results.
When smoother cuts are desired, a
sharp blade designed for smooth cuts
and a slow even cutting rate will produce
the desired quality of cut.
For varied cutting applications, refer
to the list of recommended accessories
for your saw and select the blade that
best fits your needs
