UTrouble Shooting & FAQs
YES THESE ARE REAL QUESTIONS WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS
What is this red or black thingy?
It is your trigger lock for rip cutting. It keeps the saw motor running. (See
General use - rip cutting instructions)
How do I keep my saw ON so the blade will spin continuously on so I can rip cut?
Use the red or black thingy, known as the trigger lock. (See General use - rip
cutting instructions)
Why is my saw so loud?
The silencer wasn’t installed! (It’s a saw; it’s supposed to be loud.)
Why isn’t my dust collection working?
Make sure the hoses are connected to the vacuum and the vacuum is on.
What is this silver block with a bar for?
It is your Stop bar. (See General use - using the stop bar & tape)
Can this saw cut angles?
Yes, but only 90. These units are designed to cut SQUARE!
My saw isn’t cutting square, what’s wrong?
Make sure the material you start with is truly square. (Believe it or not most
factory cut sheets aren’t square) If the sheet is square before cutting, please
call us.
When cutting acrylics my material is cracking, what am I doing wrong?
Make sure you are using a blade that is designed to cut acrylics. If you are still
having an issue you may want to move your material rollers to the higher
position and cut from the bottom up.
Why am I experiencing chip-out when cutting Melamine material?
Unfortunately this is a flaw with the material. Chip out can be minimized by
cutting slowly and using a blade that is designed for this type of material.
