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.
