Basic.Cutting.Tips
• Keep the upper blade guide assembly adjusted to
within 1" of the workpiece.
• Replace, sharpen, and clean blades as necessary.
Make adjustments periodically to keep the saw run-
ning in top condition.
• Use light and even pressure while cutting. Light con-
tact with the blade makes it easier to follow lines
and prevents extra friction, which reduces blade
life.
• Avoid twisting the blade when cutting around tight
corners. Allow the blade to saw around the corners.
• Do not back the workpiece away from the blade
while the saw is running.
• Misusing the saw or using incorrect techniques is
unsafe and results in poor cuts. Remember—the
blade does the cutting with the operator's guidance.
• Do not start the machine with the workpiece touch-
ing the blade.
• Crosscutting
• Simple and Complex Curves
• Duplicate Parts
• Circles
• Beveled Curves
