3. Setup & Use
Preparation
- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
- Use the correct blade for your material and cut type. Ask MCSS or Manufacturing Center Staff
- Ensure blade guard and fence (if using) are properly positioned.
- Set the blade guard about 0.25" (6.35mm) above the material and tighten the knob.
- Position the work lamp to light the cut area without interfering with material control.
- Ensure the work area and table are clear of obstructions.
