On old saw hold down clamp had a locked in place. Then you would tightening down on the wood to be cut. On the new saw there is nothing to lock the clamp to the saws base. When you tighten down on the piece to be cut, the clamp does not tighten down on the wood, it just goes up. What am I doing wrong?
Refer yo instructions that came with saw, Ensure that you have the lock knob.
INSTALLING THE HOLD-DOWN CLAMP ASSEMBLY (FIG. E)1. Loosen the lock knob (3) from the rear side of the saw base (4).2. Place the hold-down clamp assembly (1) in one of the mounting holes (2).3. Tighten the lock knob (3)
