OPERATION
Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
Before turning on the saw, perform a practice cut of the
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lock
-
out lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.
Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning
before removing the workpiece from miter table.
TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 30.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports, roller
stand, or work surface level with the saw table should be
placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and
work table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp,
C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure the workpiece
when possible.
