Why does wood burn at the ends when cut with my Chicago Electric Saw?
Wood may burn at the ends when cut with your Chicago Electric Saw due to a dirty blade. Clean the blade using blade cleaner or mineral spirits. It can also happen if the material is binding. Check the position of the workpiece on the table, ensuring it is flat, flush against the fence, and supported on the ends.
What to do if material frays or chips out when using my Chicago Electric Saw?
If the material frays or chips out when using your Chicago Electric Saw: * Ensure the finished side of the material is facing up or towards the operator, as the bottom and back are prone to chipping. * Check the blade for damaged teeth and sharpen or replace it if needed. * Verify the blade is appropriate for the material you are cutting; for hardwood cross-cuts and 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 during cutting.
Why does my Chicago Electric 69683 blade bind, slowing or stopping the saw?
Your Chicago Electric Saw blade may bind due to misalignment or lack of support for the material. Ensure the material is flat on the table, flush against the fence, and supported on both ends. Also, the blade can bind if the material is wet or the wrong blade is being used. Inspect the material's condition and the blade's compatibility with the material.
