Use & Safety Checklist:

  1. Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when operating.

  2. Avoid loose clothing, jewelry or anything that could get caught in the machine.

  3. Turn on Dust Collection System.

  4. Verify correct blade is installed based on the material you are cutting. Do not cut steel or other hard metals with this saw. Verify blade rotates in the correct direction. Do not use without Blade Guard installed. Ask for assistance for changing the blade.

  5. Adjust angle of blade as needed. If cutting at an angle, remove tall aluminum fence prior to cutting. Only make adjustments when power is off and machine is not moving. Never touch the blade when plugged in.

  6. Line up your cut and clamp down your material. Verify it’s secure and against the fence. Verify you can hold your piece without putting your hands in the blade zone. Only cut one piece at a time. Do not cut pieces smaller than 8” long. Do not cut through wood knots, splits, or other defects.

  7. When ready, grab handle firmly, pull trigger, and allow motor to reach full speed before cutting.

  8. Cut slowly and smoothly, keeping your hands and sleeves away from blade at all times. Keep your body to the side of the blade, and do not overreach when cutting. Maintain proper balance.

  9. Wait for the saw to stop moving completely and remove hand from trigger before removing material.
