Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut,
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you.
If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you, unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
Never attempt to perform a slide
cut by pulling the carriage towards you.
Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.

1.
Stopper pin
1.
Unlock the stopper pin so that the carriage can
slide freely.
2.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4.
Switch on the tool without the saw blade making
any contact and wait until the saw blade attains full
speed.
5.
Press the handle down and
push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the saw blade has come to a complete
stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated
position.
Miter cutting
Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.
Bevel cutting
WARNING:
After setting the blade for a bevel
cut, ensure that the carriage and saw blade will
have free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool.
Interruption
of the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
While making a bevel cut, keep
hands out of the path of the saw blade.
The angle
of the blade may confuse the operator as to the actual
blade path while cutting and contact with the blade
will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
The saw blade should not be
raised until it has come to a complete stop.
During
a bevel cut, the piece cut off may come to rest against
the saw blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating,
the cut-off piece may be ejected by the blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade.
If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
1.
Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2.
Unlock the stopper pin.
3.
Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the knob.
4.
Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5.
Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
7.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position
while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and
push
the carriage toward the guide fence to cut the workpiece.
8.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
