1. Obtain a piece of wood roughly 4" x 4". If the piece of material is too small it will be difficult to hold onto.

2. Adjust the height of the hold down for the thickness of material you are using.

3. Make sure to tension the blade by flipping the blade tension lever. If the blade is not tensioned properly the blade cut will tend to drift and will make it difficult to follow the cut lines.

4. Make sure the material is clear of the blade before turning on the machine.
