When dealing with miter saw issues, please have the wood shop aid or Justin assist you:
*Saw won’t start - Check power cord, outlet, and reset circuit breaker; ensure safety switch is fully engaged.
*Blade won’t cut straight - Verify miter and bevel settings are locked; check fence alignment and blade for warping.
*Excessive vibration - Inspect blade for damage or looseness; ensure arbor nut is tight; clean debris from blade area.
