Troubleshooting
Blade wanders or cuts are not straight.
Ensure the blade is securely mounted and the arbor is clean. Check that the blade is not warped and that your table saw's alignment is correct.
Excessive vibration or noise.
Verify the blade is correctly installed and tightened. Clean any buildup on the blade or arbor. Check if the anti-vibration slots are clear of debris.
Blade cuts are rough or splintered.
Clean the blade teeth. Ensure you are feeding the material at a consistent speed. Check if the blade is dull or damaged; consider replacement if necessary.
Blade overheats quickly.
Ensure the blade's protective coating is intact. Reduce feed rate and avoid forcing the cut. Check for material buildup causing friction.
