General Operating Tips
 For smooth, clean, chip-free cuts, you must use industrial carbide saw blades that are sharp. Dull or
improperly sharpened blades will cause chipping, unclean cuts, chatter, and motor overloading. If you are not
sure that a blade is sharp, replace it with a new one.
 When you feed the material through the tool horizontally, or move the carriage over the material vertically, do it
slowly, smoothly, and (whenever possible) without stopping. Overfeeding results in poor-quality cuts,
shortened blade life, and motor overloading.
 For best results when sawing, place the work piece onto the tool with its backside facing you. This provides the
smoothest possible cut on the face side of the panel.
 Panels being cut horizontally or vertically must always be fed against the rotation of the saw blade.
 Panel saws are intended for cutting large panels down to size. As the overall panel size becomes smaller and
smaller, other types of sawing tools become more convenient and safer to use.
 Refer to the Maintenance section for regular maintenance procedures.
