1. Holder assembly
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Firmly tighten two clamping screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient
tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious
PERSONAL INJURY may result.
2.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
006980
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles counterclockwise
1
so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the 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
down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE
FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is com-
pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO
A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated posi-
tion.
CAUTION:
•
Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE CARRIAGE
TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered
position, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE.
NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED
TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut without pulling the carriage
fully or if you perform the slide cut toward your direction, the blade may
kickback unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PERSONAL
INJURY.
•
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the lowered position
by pressing the stopper pin.
•
Never loosen the clamp screw which secures the carriage while the
blade is rotating. This may cause serious injury.

Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter angle".
4.
Bevel cut
006981
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to
the previously covered "Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten
the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back
toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the
handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE
FENCE TO CUT 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.
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel direction during a
bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
•
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will
come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the
blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing
fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade should be
raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop.
•
When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel to the blade. If
the pressure is not parallel to the blade during a cut, the angle of the
blade might be shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
