      If the material frays or chips when using your Chicago Electric Saw, make sure the finished side of the material is facing up. Check the blade for damage and sharpen or replace it if needed. Ensure the blade is appropriate for the material you are cutting. Use a thin piece of scrap material underneath or behind the material to support the edges.

      If the blade binds, slowing down or stopping your Chicago Electric Saw, ensure the material is flat on the table, flush against the fence, and supported on both ends. Also, check the condition of the material and ensure the blade is compatible with the material you're cutting.

      If the blade of your Chicago Electric Saw does not cut completely through the workpiece, check if the Depth Stop setting is engaged and disengage it by moving it to the right. If the Depth Stop is set too shallow, adjust the Depth Stop Bolt for the desired cutting depth.
