Feed Rate
The speed at which the saw blade will cut through
a workpiece is controlled by the blade type and
feed rate. The feed rate is controlled by how hard
the user pulls the saw down into the material.
The feed rate should be proportional to the speed
of the saw. Allow the blade to remove chips as
it cuts through the material. Here are some signs
that the feed rate is too fast.
•
Saw binding in cut and motor slows down.
•
Saw blade flexing as it moves through cut.
Work Stop
The Model G0885 is equipped with a work stop
that can be used to quickly position the workpiece
during a repetitive cutting operation. Adjust the
work stop as needed, then tighten the lock handle
to secure it in place, as shown in Figure 22.
