Cutting with the Trim Saw
Machine Damage. Use diamond blades only. Check blade for signs of core or seg-
ment cracks, uneven segment wear, pounding out of round arbor hole, undercutting,
segment loss, dishing or loss of tension. If the blade shows signs of any of these
problems the blade must be replaced before starting work.
CAUTION
A damaged blade will not cut correctly and could cause physical injury.
1. Move the power switch to the OFF position.
2. Open the rock vise jaws to fit the material to be cut.
3. Retighten the jaws with the wing nut screw on the rock vise (see Figure 11).
4. Position the rock vise close to (but not touching) the diamond blade.
5. When the vise is positioned close to the blade, loosen the wing nut on
the front of the vise (see Figure 11).
6. Retighten the wing nut on the vise.
7. Move the power switch to the ON position to engage the blade.
8. Use light but firm pressure to cut the material, letting the blade do the
work. Do not force the material into the blade.
9. The blade guard height can be adjusted by turning the thumb screw at
the rear mounting position of the guard (see Figure 12).
