the Slide Lock Wing Screw at the back of the saw.
z
To make a bevel cut, release the Bevel Lock Lever; rotate the blade assembly to the desired bevel
angle, then lock the blade assembly in place using the Bevel Lock Lever. Making bevel cuts is
discussed in more detail later in this manual.
z
This saw is provided with a Kerf Board. The Kerf Board helps to prevent tear-out on the bottom
side of the work material. The Kerf Board is factory adjusted prior to shipment of this tool so the
blade does not contact the Kerf Board during normal operation, including bevel cuts. Adjustment of
the Kerf Board and techniques to prevent tear-out are discussed later in this booklet.
z
Before starting work, check the accuracy of the Guide Fence, miter angle and bevel angle.
Instructions for checking and adjusting these angles are discussed later in this booklet.
z
It is very important that the work material be properly supported before making a cut. The material
must be level on the Table. The material must be supported on both ends. Using the Work Piece
Extension Supports is discussed in the next section.
z
Use this saw only for its intended purpose of cutting flat rectangular or round wood stock, or
finished molding. Do not use it for cutting firewood, brush, or anything that does not lie flat on the
table. Doing so may cause binding or violent kick-back that may result in damage or personal
injury.
MAKING A CUT
z
Observe all safety and planning items discussed in this booklet. Detailed instructions on each of the
following steps are discussed in this booklet. Do not make any cuts until you have read this entire
booklet and are familiar with the operation of this tool.
z
Release the Locking Pin to allow the blade assembly to come up. Check to be sure the Table is fixed in
place at the desired miter angle. Check to be sure the slide lock is released to allow the blade assembly
to slide freely.
z
Blow any sawdust or debris away from the Fence. Place the work material against the Fence.
z
Make any necessary miter or bevel adjustments.
z
Align the marked location of the cut on the work material with the saw blade. Be aware that the Saw
Blade will remove material from the cut equal to the width of the blade. This is the “kerf”. To prevent
your work piece from being cut too short, align the edge of the blade with your measured mark, keeping
the kerf on the waste side of the cut.
z
Hold the work material in place using the Hold Down Vise. Ensure that the work material is level and
supported securely, using saw horses or supports if necessary.
z
Grip the Saw Handle and squeeze the Trigger to start the Blade turning.
z
Pressing down lightly, move the Blade smoothly across the work material to cut it. With narrow material,
you can press straight down “chopping” the material. With wider material you must move the Blade
across the material to cut it. Do not bear down on the material, use light downward pressure. If the
material binds the blade, release the trigger. Keep your hands away from the Blade.
z
When the cut is completed, raise the blade assembly, wait for the Blade to stop turning, release the
Hold Down Vise and remove the work material from the saw.
