    What to do if material frays or chips out when using my Chicago Electric 98199?

      If the material frays or chips out when using your Chicago Electric Saw, consider these points: * Ensure the finished side of the material is facing up. The bottom and back side are prone to chip out. * Check the blade for damaged teeth and sharpen or replace the blade if necessary. A dull or chipped blade can cause fraying. * Verify that the blade is appropriate for the material being cut. For cross-cutting hardwood 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.
