• Grasp the trigger switch handle (2) and
pull the carriage (3) forward until the
centre of the saw blade is over the front
of the workpiece (4).
• Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
• When the saw reaches full speed, slowly
push the saw handle down, cutting through
the leading edge of the workpiece.
• Slowly move the trigger switch handle back
towards the fence, completing the cut.
• Release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop spinning before raising the cutting
head and removing the workpiece.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig. 45)
• The table insert may be removed for this
purpose, but always reattach table insert
prior to performing a cutting operation. A
bowed workpiece (1) must be positioned
against the fence and secured with a hold-
down clamp (2) as shown before cutting.
Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try
to cut the workpiece without the support of
the fence. This will cause the blade to bind
and could result in personal injury.
WARNING!
• To avoid injury:
- Never pull the cutting head assembly and spinning blade towards
you during the cut. The blade may try to climb up on the top of the
workpiece, causing the cutting assembly and spinning blade to kick
back, forcefully. The cutting head assembly should be drawn back
completely then pushed forward when sawing.
- Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. This will help reduce the
risk of a thrown workpiece.
• To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always unplug the saw to
avoid accidental starting and remove small pieces of material from the
table cavity underlying the table insert.
