
they can move freely across their
whole range of travel.
Periodically, depending on operat-
ing conditions
 Check drive belt condition and ten-

Tips and Tricks

– For long stock use suitable supports
on both sides of the saw.
– When making cuts that will result in
small cutoffs, use an auxiliary fence
(this may be a suitable wooden
board fixed to the machine's fence
with screws).
– When cutting warped or bent work-
pieces, make sure that you place
the workpiece so that the convex
side (i.e. the outer side of the bow)
is against the fence:
– Do not cut stock standing on edge;
always place it flat on the rotating
table.
– Keep the support surfaces clean – in
particular, remove resin residue with
a suitable cleaning and maintenance
spray.
