RELmEF CUTS

Relief cuts are made when an intricate curve (too small a radius for the blade) is to be cut. Cut through a scrap sec- tion of the workpiece to curve in pattern line then carefully back the blade out. Several relief cuts should be made for intricate curves before following the pattern line as sec- tions are cutoff of curve "relieving" blade pressure.

SCROLL CUTTmNG

For general type scroll cutting, follow the pattern lines by pushing and turning the workpiece at the same time. Do not try to turn the workpiece while engaged in the blade without pushing it, the workpiece could bind or twist the blade.

REMOVING JAMMED MATERIAL

Never remove jammed cutoff pieces until the blade has come to a full and complete stop.

[] Place the switch in the OFF position, remove the switch key from the switch assembly.

[] Unplug the saw from the power source before remov- ing jammed material.

[] Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a firm, leve! surface with plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.

[] Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking, or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.

[] Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from the power source before moving the saw.

[] Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come to a full and complete stop.

[] Choose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do.

[] Make sure that the blade teeth point down toward the saw table, that the blade guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension are properly adjusted, that the blade guide knob is tight, and that no parts have excessive play.

[] To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade breakage, and provide maximum blade support, al- ways adjust the blade guide assembly to just clear the workpiece.

[] Use only recommended accessories.

[] With the exception of the workpiece and related sup- port devises, clear everything off the saw table before turning the saw on.

[] Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or tubing because they have a tendency to roll during a cut causing the blade to "bite." To avoid this, always use a "V" block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge.

[] Before removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
