on the workpiece.
12. Use the hold-down clamp to secure the workpiece against the saw table
and fence.
13. When cutting long workpiece, support the opposite end of the workpiece with a
roller stand or with another work surface that is level with the saw table.
CAUTION:
NEVER use another person as an additional support for a work-
piece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, support, or
pull the workpiece.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always keep hands outside the
“No-Hands Zone”, as marked on the saw table, or at least 3” (7.6 cm) away
from the blade. Also, never perform any cutting operation “freehand” (i.e.: with-
out holding the workpiece against the fence), because the blade could grab the
workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.
14. Make sure there will be no obstructions to interfere with making the cut.
15. Hold the saw handle, and use the index finger to turn the laser switch on by
pressing it.
16. To turn the saw on, push the safety lock-off button in with the thumb while
squeezing the On/Off trigger switch located under the handle (Fig. 1, #1 and
#3). Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
17. Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
18. Release the safety lock and trigger switch, and turn the laser switch off. Allow
the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
(Fig. 14 and 15)
WARNING:
In order to avoid kickback and serious personal injury, never pos-
ition the concave side of bowed or warped material against the fence.
When cutting warped material, be certain that the material to be cut is positioned
on the miter table with the convex side against the fence, as shown (Fig. 14).
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way (Fig. 15), it will pinch the
blade near the end of the cut.
