Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that
the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece
with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press the handle down and
PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE
FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A
COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to
its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the
carriage full towards you and press the handle
all the way down, then push the carriage
toward the guide fence. Never start the cut with
the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If you
perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur
and serious personal injury may result.
Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling
the carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage
towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal injury.
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked
in the lowered position.
Never loosen the locking screw which secures
the carriage while the blade is rotating. A loose
carriage while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible in serious personal
injury.
