Troubleshooting
Blade is leaving splintered edges.
Check the blade's teeth for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the material is being fed at the correct rate. Make sure you are using the correct blade for the material.
Excessive noise during cutting.
Check for loose components on the saw. Ensure the blade is properly tensioned. Consider using hearing protection.
Cut is not straight.
Check that the blade is perpendicular to the table. Ensure the material is held firmly against the fence. Verify the blade is not warped.
