Troubleshooting

Cuts are not straight.

Check the rail connection and ensure the guide rails are straight. Verify the saw blade is perpendicular to the base and the splinter guard is correctly aligned.

Clamps are not holding the material securely.

Ensure the clamps are tightened firmly and positioned correctly on the workpiece. Check for any obstructions preventing the clamp from making full contact.

Guide rail is scratched.

Use the rail bag for storage to prevent scratches. Light scratches do not affect performance, but deep scratches can affect accuracy. Consider rail replacement if performance is impacted.
