SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
Aluminum Cutting:
Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown in Figure 27. Figure 28 illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions. Use a wax lubricant when cutting aluminum such as Johnson’s Stick Wax No. 140. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade.
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to page 3 for correct saw blade,
Bowed Material:
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 29 and never like that shown in Figure 30. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the blade guard. A little extra height can be gained by rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure 25. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
Maintenance
1.All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance.
2.Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate.
3.The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. If they ever need replacement follow the instructions on page 7 or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair. Service center locations are packed with your tool.
Important
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
