FIG. 9

 

1. Cut two boards approximately 20" long x 2" high x 4" wide (508 x 50.8 x 101.6 mm).

2. Place the chop saw at desired work location.

3. Place boards tightly along side and nail to work surface.

Operation Tips for

More Accurate Cuts

• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive force will

cause the wheel to glaze reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect causing inaccurate cuts.

•Properly adjust fence angle.

•Make sure material is laying flat across base.

•Properly clamp material to avoid movement and vibration.

MAINTENANCE

Motor Brush Inspection and

Replacement (Fig. 10)
