The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag,
fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
