WARNING:
Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental start up, which may cause serious injury.
WARNING:
Use a clamping position that does not interfere with the cutting operation.
WARNING:
Never pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the work piece
and force itself toward you.
SLIDE CUTS (FIG. 24)
This type of cut is used mainly for wide pieces. The slide lock knob is loosened, the cutting head is pulled towards the
operator, and the cutting head is lowered to the work piece and then pushed to the rear of the saw to make the cut.
Follow these instructions for making your slide cut:
• Unplug the saw.
• Properly position the work piece. Make sure the work piece is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.
• Loosen the slide lock knob.
• Plug the saw into an electrical outlet.
•
Grasp the “D” handle, and pull the cutting head away from the fence until the blade clears the front of the work piece or
to its maximum extension.
•
Before turning the saw on, lower the cutting head to make sure the clamp clears the lower blade guard and cutting head.
•
Turn on the switch. Always allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
•
Lower the cutting head all the way down, and cut through the edge of the work piece.
•
Push (but do not force) the cutting head towards the fence all the way to the rear position to complete the cut.
•
Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop returning the cutting head to the raised position and/or removing the work
piece.
