Plug it in. WAIT! You need a drip loop! Wrong! Correct Drip Loop
So lets cut. Turn the machine on Move hand down
One additional safety tip If you chose to, set a pallet down on the ground to stand on in front of the saw. If you do enough cutting, the ground becomes wet. This will elevate you so you are not standing in a puddle. Electricity and water don’t mix!
One last thing… Always stay focused on the job you are performing. Losing focusing and not paying attention can have consequences for you, and others around you.
