SAW OPERATION
1. Make sure you have read this manual completely before operating your saw.
2. NOTE: The saw motor has two ON/OFF switches. Both switches must be “ON” for your saw to operate.
• One switch is located on the motor housing. Push this switch to the “DOWN” and “LOCKED” position.
• The second switch is located on the motor mounting block, enclosed in a protective housing. This rocker switch has
“I” and “O” markings. Press the “I” to turn the switch “ON”. This switch should be used as the primary ON/OFF switch
for saw operation.
3. Make sure that there is sufficient water in the water pan to cover the inlet on the water pump, and that water is being
supplied to the saw blade before attempting to cut any material.
4. Make sure your material is positioned properly on the saw table before beginning your cut. Feed your material slowly
into the blade. DO NOT force material. The blade will cut smoother and faster if these steps are followed.
5. ALWAYS practice “SAFETY FIRST”. Wear eye safety goggles, a dust mask and gloves when operating this saw. Discard
cracked, bent, chipped, or damaged blades.
