Second, you need to be aware of the various adjustments you may have to make to prepare the saw for the cut.
First you have to set the fence at the appropriate distance from the blade to make sure you will cut the material to the proper width. The measuring marks on the saw itself are accurate, and as a double check I suggest using a tape measure to make sure the width is correct. To move the fence, lift the handle, position the fence, then press the handle down firmly to lock it in place. Adjust the Blade
You can also adjust the height of the blade. You want the blade to sit approximately 3/8" above the thickness of the material you are cutting. |
