Basic Operation
1.
Plug the Power Cord Plug into a 115 VAC, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Be sure the cord
does not interfere with the saw operation or workpiece.
2.
Place the workpiece on the Base table and against the Fence.
If the workpiece is short in length, use the Material Clamp to hold it in place. Do not
hold with your hand.
3.
Press in (and hold) the Safety Button (36), then squeeze the trigger Switch (32) to
turn the saw on. Release the Safety Button.
4.
When the saw blade is turning at full speed, slowly bring down the Saw Arm to
complete the cut.
5.
When the cut is complete, release the Switch and raise the Saw Arm to its upper
most position.
6.
Wait until the Blade comes to a complete stop before removing the stock from the
Base table.
Making Crosscuts
A crosscut is made by cutting wood across the grain at any angle. Miter crosscuts are
made with the miter arm at some angle other than zero. This angle is often 45 degrees for
making corners, but can be set anywhere from zero to 45 degrees (left or right).
1.
Loosen (counterclockwise) the Miter Side Handle (112) and press down on the
handle. Move it (left or right) to the desired angle.
There are locking stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 30, and 45 degrees.
2.
Tighten the Miter Side Handle.
3.
Align the wood stock on the table, and flush against the Fence Guide (97). Clamp
material in place.
4.
Press in (and hold) the Safety Button, then squeeze the trigger Switch (32) to turn the
saw on. Release the Safety Button. Note: Removal of the Material Clamp (126) is
necessary if an angled cut would interfer with the clamp.
5.
When the saw blade is turning at full speed, slowly bring down the Saw Arm to
complete the cut.
6.
When the cut is complete, release the Switch and raise the Saw Arm to its upper
most position.
Quality of Cut
The smoothness of any cut depends on a number of variables. Things like the material
being cut, saw blade type and sharpness, and the rate of cut all contribute to the quality of
the cut.
