    What to do if blade binds on Chicago Electric 56708 Saw?
    • E
      elizabethriveraAug 10, 2025
      If the blade binds, slowing or stopping your Chicago Electric Saw, consider these points: * Ensure the material is flat on the table, flush against the fence, and supported on both ends. Misalignment or lack of support can cause binding. * Check the condition of the material and ensure the blade is appropriate for the material being cut. Wet or contaminated material, or an incompatible blade, can cause the saw to bind.

    What to do if material frays when cutting with Chicago Electric Saw?
    • M
      Matthew LaraAug 22, 2025
      If the material frays or chips out when using your Chicago Electric Saw: * Keep the finished side of the material up or facing the operator, as the bottom and back side are prone to chip out. * Check the blade for damaged teeth and sharpen or replace the blade if needed. * Check the blade manufacturer’s recommendations for the material being cut. For cross cutting hardwood and for precision cuts use a thin kerf blade with 60 or more teeth. * Use a thin piece of scrap material, such as 1/4? plywood, underneath or behind the material to support the edges of the material as it is being cut.
