Troubleshooting
HAVE YOU FOLLOWED ALL STEPS OF THE
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE? IF YOU HAVE
NOT FOLLOWED THEM IN THEIR PROPER
SEQUENCE, YOU CANNOT EXPECT ACCU-
RATE CUTTING RESULTS.
In addition to the proper alignment of your
saw, you must also become familiar with the
following practices in order to expect the
best results.
1. Edge of workpiece which is placed
against fence must be as straight as the long
side of your flaming 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 succes-
sive cuts and mark a pencil line on the
table for gauging the required length.
Deviation from any of the above practices
wi!l have an effect on the accuracy of the
cuts that you make.
