Work Area KEEP CHILDREN AWAY Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area. KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. [. . . ] Adjusting the hold down clamp The hold down clamp should always rest just above the workpiece to help prevent the workpiece from lifting from the table. Hold the drop foot, loosen the drop foot lock knob and lower by hand until it just rests above the workpiece surface, and securely tighten the drop foot lock knob. When cutting with the table angled, adjust drop foot so it's parallel to the table. To adjust, loosen screw with the allen wrench provided, turn foot to correct angle, tighten screw. Always make sure the blade does not contact either side of the drop foot, or the table opening. NOTE: When cutting at extreme angles, the drop foot should be lifted off the workpiece, as it will impede cutting. The drop foot may be disassembled when thick materials are cut at extreme angles. 4 DROP FOOT LOCK KNOB DROP FOOT MOUNTING SCREW TABLE TABLE LOCK KNOB DEGREE SCALE Aligning the Degree Scale Pointer The table is factory set to 0º. If further adjustments are necessary, please follow the instructions below: 1. Loosen the table lock knob and move the table until it is 90 degree to the blade. With the wrench provided remove the drop foot assembly, mounting screw, and washer, and move it out of the way. You allow the saw to cut wood by guiding the wood into the blade as it moves. · The blade teeth cut ONLY on the down stroke. · The drop foot should always be lowered until it just rests on top of the workpiece. · You must feed the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth of the blade are very small and they can only remove wood when they are on the down stroke. The blade will flex backwards when applying feed pressure. Too much feed pressure will cause blade breakage. · There is a learning curve for each person who wants to use this saw. During that period of time it is expected that some blades will break until you learn how to use the saw and receive the greatest benefit from the blades. 11.
