Troubleshooting
Saw is not cutting straight.
Ensure the blade is perpendicular to the material and that you're applying even pressure. Check the blade for any bends or damage.
Blade feels dull.
Replace the blade with a new one. The impulse-hardened teeth are designed for longevity, but they will dull with extended use.
