How long is the power cable?

The power cable is four meters long, providing a significant radius of operation.

What is the purpose of the vision panel?

Troubleshooting

Saw won't start

Check that the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the safety lock is disengaged.

Poor cut quality

Verify the saw blade is sharp, appropriate for the material, and correctly installed. Ensure the correct cutting depth is set and the saw is not being forced through the material.

Difficulty adjusting depth or angle

Confirm that the tool-free adjustment levers are fully released before attempting to move them. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanisms.

Excessive dust despite vacuum connection

Ensure the vacuum hose is properly connected and creating a good seal. Check that the vacuum cleaner is functioning correctly and its bag or canister is not full. Clean the vacuum adapter and dust port on the saw.
