HA VE YOU FOLLO WED ALL SIX STEPS OF
THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE? IF YOU
HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THEM IN THEIR
PROPER SEQUENCE, YOU CANNOT
EXPECT A CCURA TE CUTTING RESULTS.
In addition to the proper alignment of your saw, you
must also become familiar with the following prac-
tices in order to expect the best results.
!. Edge of workpiece which is placed against fence
must be as straight as the long side of your
framing square.
2. Workpiece must be as flat as the front table board
on your saw.
3. There must be no sawdust or other wood chips
between the fence and the front table board.
4. There must be no sawdust or other wood chips
underneath workpiece or between workpiece
and fence.
5. Workpiece must be held tightly against fence
and down against the table.., this is especially
important when making angle cuts because the
workpiece has a tendency to move.
6. Always use the correct sawblade for the job...
Always keep it sharp.
7. When making a four sided frame:
a. The two side pieces must be exactly the same
length.
b. The top and bottom pieces must be exactly the
same length.
c. Always place the same edge of the workpiece
against the fence.., turn the workpiece end
for end for the successive cuts and mark a
pencil line on the table for gauging the required
length.
Deviation from any of the above practices will
have an effect on the accuracy of the cuts that
you make.
WARNING: REMOVE POWER CORD FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE TROUBLE SHOOTING.
NOTE: Changing one adjustment will effect another,
so it is best to perform all of the alignment procedures
when correcting any one problem.
The usual operating "troubles" are listed in the
following paragraphs with the necessary corrections
listed.
