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.
