Unfortunately, Harbor Freight doesn't publish any reference or support documentation other than the saw's owners manual. If you have a specific question that isn't addressed in the manual, you could try contacting Harbor Freight customer support, or asking the question here and seeing if someone else is familiar with the problem.
