On behalf of Expert Village, my name is George Engle with Mr. Fix-It Handyman in Miami, Florida and today I am going to be showing you how to set up and use and perform different cuts of wood with a portable table saw. And before we do any cutting, I want to emphasize that you have to be very careful with this type of saw. I am going to go over again the safety issues. When the saw is not in use, keep your blade down whereby avoiding any contact with your hands, not in the way, out of place, you have your goggles. They are a very important part of this tool to wear eye safety cause a little piece of wood in eye could cause you to go to the doctor pretty. Continuing with safety; I've got my cord daisy chain. If any of you guys have been on construction sights, you know how to do that. If not, maybe we will do a video on it for you later. For this saw, we are going to need a number 12 extension cord because it draws the amps are so high that it won't work with any other one. Again, safety the shroud should be here and we are going to put this on and come back and show you how to do some cuts.
