Issues
The electrical trigger control (or motor) is intermittent in operation and needs attention.
When the metalworking area is completely laid out, there may be space for this saw to be permanently sited on a bench and we can fill the reservoir with cutting fluid. Until then, it cuts dry, or needs manual feeding of fluid (as appropriate for the material being cut).
