OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5
Replace the saw table, making sure all four
tapered pins are secured. Insert the black
spray shield (part #7) into the slot located at the
front of the saw table (Fig. C). The spray shield
can be inserted in either direction.
6
Before turning your trim saw on, manually
spin the saw blade towards you to make
sure the blade is not in contact with the saw
table. If there is contact, see page 11 for
instructions on how to position the saw blade
for clearance. Note: Thin saw blades tend to
wave side to side as you spin them. While this is
the nature of thin saw blades, the wave can also
be caused by over-tightening the saw knob.

Put on safety goggles (not included), then
turn on the machine by turning the power
knob clockwise. Adjust the speed of your saw
blade using the speed chart on page 6 as a guide.
Never exceed the saw blade's maximum rpm.
8
There should be a fine mist coming from your
saw blade while it spins. If there isn't, pour
additional water over the blade until there is a
mist. Note: In use, always make sure the saw blade
is properly lubricated. Never run dry.
9
After each use, turn off the machine, then
unplug your trim saw from its power source.
Drain the water reservoir. Dry the machine and
saw blade with paper towels or a cloth. You may
also spin dry the saw blade by running it on the
trim saw until it is completely dry. Notes: Always
dry your saw blade after each use to prevent
rusting. Keep out of reach of children.
