How to use

Secure the workpiece against the fence, set the required mitre angle using the saw's scale, and ensure the blade guard and dust extraction port are correctly positioned. Start the motor and allow it to reach full speed before making a steady, controlled cut. After cutting, wait for the blade to stop fully before removing the workpiece and perform routine cleaning of the dust collection area.

Recommendations

Use a suitable blade for the material, connect a dust extractor for optimal dust management, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust mask). For prolonged accuracy, check blade alignment and perform regular maintenance according to the manufacturer's instructions.
