 ====Safety Concern====
-  *
+  * Eye protection should be warn at all times while operating the saw
+  * All guards and shields should be in place before turning the saw on
+  * Hands should be kept free and out of the way of the blade at all times
+  * Nitral (NOT RUBBER OR CLOTH) gloves should be warn when cutting specific composites
 ====Safe Operation Procedures Review====
-  -
+  * Check the blade installed, coolant levels and part material
+  * Select an appropriate fixturing jig to insure part remains securely held and square to the saw blade
+  * Adjust the blade splash guard so that it just clears the fixture and workpiece but catches as much coolant as possible
+  * Replace the plexiglass cover
+  * Turn on the TrimSaw using the power switch by the power cord, then using the arrow buttons select the appropriate speed
+  * Slowly and gently feed the workpiece into the blade, allow the blade to cut without force feeding
+  * When cut is complete withdraw the fixture and workpiece from the cut (do NOT attempt to clear workpiece while saw is in motion).
 ====Post Processing====
-  -
+  * Using paper towels wipe the Trimsaw down and clear any dust particulates from cutting
+  * TrimSaw can leave small burs on metal or composite components, sanding lightly with a high grit sandpaper can remove sharp edges
+====Switching Blades====
+  * Insert the two pins into the saw arbor and blade retaining nut normal to the surface of the arbor
+  * Using the leverage on the pins, loosen the blade retaining nut to free the blade
+  * Carefully remove the blade from its arbor and replace with the blade matching the material you intend to cut
+  * Lightly LUBRICATE the threads on the end of the blade arbor with a grease to prevent thread galling.
+  * Tighten the blade retaining nut HAND TIGHT (no need to go crazy on this one down)
+  * Insure the coolant level is in contact with the bottom of the blade and filled to the fill line
