1) Things to remember

1. Check the drawer
Always make sure the dust drawer is empty before you start chomping.
2. Empty every 30 mins
Empty the dust drawer at least every 30 minutes to keep things running smoothly.
3. Keep it OFF
Don't leave your ChompSaw running between cuts. As soon as you finish a cut, press the power switch OFF.

2) How to use your ChompSaw

1. Place on a flat surface
Place your ChompSaw on a clean, flat surface without any other objects around it.
2. Plug it in
Make sure the power switch is OFF. Then plug the power supply into your ChompSaw and wall outlet.
3. Face your ChompSaw
Stand in front of the ChompSaw (the dust drawer should be facing you).
4. Power on
Turn the power switch ON. You should hear the ChompSaw start up, and the cutting part inside will begin to move.
5. Wait...
Wait about 10 seconds for it to reach full speed before you start cutting.
6. Lay cardboard flat
Lay your cardboard flat on the mat in front of you. Make sure the cardboard is thin enough to fit in the cutting head (3mm or less).
7. Push to cut
To make a cut, push the cardboard in the direction of the arrows (away from you). Try pushing at different speeds to find what works best for you.
8. Rotate for curves
To make curves and turns, rotate the cardboard and keep pushing forward. Remember, the ChompSaw won't cut if you push sideways.
That's it!
That's it!

Troubleshooting

1) Diagnosing problems

LED Status Indicator
The ring around the power switch will light up to alert you of problems. Here's what they mean:
1. ChompSaw is ON
This is completely normal—no issues here!
2. Drawer open/Not fully assembled
Double check to make sure that your dust drawer is closed, and that your ChompSaw is fully assembled.
3. Overheating
Turn your ChompSaw OFF for at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool down.
4. Fan malfunction
Turn your ChompSaw OFF and contact our support team. Do not attempt to use your ChompSaw.
5. Motor stall
Turn your ChompSaw OFF and contact our support team. Do not attempt to use your ChompSaw.

2) Cooling down your cutting head

1. Power OFF
If you notice your cutting head is getting hot, simply turn the ChompSaw OFF.
2. Remove drawer
Remove the dust collection drawer.
3. Power ON
Turn the ChompSaw back ON. This will run the fan to quickly cool it down.
4. Wait...
Wait until the cutting head is cool to the touch, then keep using your ChompSaw as normal.
