WARNING
Never move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting
angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any
slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal
injury.
WARNING
Do not try to cut narrow pieces using the sliding feature. Failure
to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
LED LIGHTING SYSTEM

adjustments.
Ŷ
To use this feature, press the LED button. The LED light will
automatically turn off after 15 seconds.
NOTE:
The LED light will automatically turn on when the switch
trigger is depressed.
Ŷ
Bring the saw arm down so that the blade is approximately 6.3
mm (1/4 in.) from the workpiece. The shadow of the blade will
be projected onto the workpiece, indicating where the blade
teeth will make contact as the cut is made.
TO SLIDE CUT

WARNING
Never make a cut by pulling the saw towards you as the blade
can climb on top of the workpiece and come towards you. Failure
to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Ŷ
The sliding feature will cut workpieces up to 184 mm (7-1/4 in.)
wide x 38 mm (1-1/2 in.) thick.

trigger (let blade reach maximum speed), then push the blade
down on top of the workpiece then back towards the rear of the
saw to make a cut. Cuts are made by: pushing the saw blade
away from you and towards the bevel scale at the back of the
saw, stopping when the full rear position has been reached after
each cut. When the saw is running (turned on), never pull the
saw blade towards you or towards the front of the saw.
Ŷ
Raise saw arm to its full height.
Ŷ
Push the mitre lock lever down to secure the turning table.
Ŷ
Place the workpiece flat on the turning table securely against
the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against
the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the
fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the
cut, jamming the blade. See figures 33 - 34.
Ŷ
When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the
opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work
surface level with the saw table. See figure 27.
Ŷ
Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw
blade.
Ŷ
Loosen the sliding lock knob by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
Ŷ
Press the LED button to project the blade’s shadow onto the
workpiece.
Ŷ
Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp (not included) to
secure the workpiece when possible.
Ŷ
Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the
cut is made.
Ŷ
With the saw off, grasp the saw handle firmly then pull the saw
forward until the blade arbor (centre of the saw blade) is over
the front of the workpiece.

Push the saw handle away from you and towards the bevel
scale at the back of the saw.
Ŷ
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece and removing
the workpiece from turning table.
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
WARNING
Securely tighten the sliding lock knob when making any non-
sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob could result in the saw
head moving during the cutting operation.
TO MITRE CUT / CROSS CUT
6HH¿JXUHV
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece.
A straight cross cut is made with the turning table set at the 0°
position. Mitre cross cuts are made with the turning table set at
some angle other than zero.
Ŷ
Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and tighten the
sliding lock knob securely.
Ŷ
Pull out the head lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Ŷ
Lift the mitre lock lever, then depress and hold the mitre detent
release button to release the turning table.
Ŷ
Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator aligns with the
desired angle on the mitre scale.

Place the workpiece flat on the turning table securely against
the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against
the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the
