What to do if material frays or chips out when using my Chicago Electric 61971?

To prevent material from fraying or chipping when using your Chicago Electric Saw, ensure the finished side of the material is facing up. The bottom and back are more prone to chipping. Inspect the blade for damage and sharpen or replace it if needed. Select a blade appropriate for the material you're cutting; for hardwood crosscuts and precision cuts, use a thin kerf blade with 60 or more teeth. Also, use a piece of scrap material (like 1/4" plywood) underneath or behind the material to support its edges during cutting.
