1. Adjust blade so that there are no more than 1 - 3 "teeth" showing above the board you are going to cut. You want to cut board with the grain.
2. Measure from the inside of the blade and set the fence appropriately.
3. Stand to the side in case the wood kicks back.
4. Know where your safety switch is.
5. Turn on saw, push wood through the blade - keeping it tight against the fence.
6. If it is a long board, have someone stand on the other end to help guide (NOT pull) the wood through.
