(% Select and install the required blade (refer to 9cX[\J\c\Zk`fe on GX^\)+).
)% Select the required cutting speed (refer to 9cX[\ Jg\\[ on GX^\)*).
*% Raise and lock the headstock, so the blade is approximately 3" from the workpiece, and open the vise to accept the workpiece.
Note: NEVER let the saw blade rest on the workpiece without the saw running. Otherwise, you will permanently damage the saw blade!
+% Insert the workpiece into the vise, so the blade will contact the flattest part of the workpiece first, and clamp the workpiece in the vise.
