Too much force may result in the motor over-
loading and/or decreased cutting efficiency.
Push down handle with only as much force
as is necessary for smooth cutting, without a
significant decrease in blade speed. Gently
press down the handle to perform the cut. If
the handle is pressed down with force or if
lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate
and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece
and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage to-
ward the guide fence without stopping. If the
carriage movement is stopped during the cut,
a mark will be left in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
PRESS CUTTING (cutting small workpieces)
Workpieces up to 5 cm wide and 20 cm long
can be cut in the following way:
push the carriage toward the guide fence fully
and tighten the locking knob clockwise to se-
cure the carriage.
Secure the workpiece with the clamp. Switch
on the tool without the blade making any con-
tact and wait until the blade attains full speed
before lowering. Then gently lower the handle
to the fully lowered position to cut the work-
piece. When the cut is completed, switch off
the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE COMES
TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the
blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION: Firmly tighten the locking knob
clockwise so that the carriage will not move
during operation. Insufficient tightening may
cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Pos-
sible SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY may result.
SLIDE (push) CUTTING (cutting wide work-
pieces) (Fig. 8)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so
that the carriage can slide freely.
Secure the workpiece
with the clamp.
Pull the carriage to-
ward you fully. Switch
on the tool without
the blade making any
contact and wait until
the blade get up to
full speed.
Press down the handle and PUSH THE CAR-
RIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. 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.
CAUTION: When performing a slide cut,
PULL THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and
press down the handle to the fully lowered po-
sition, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE
GUIDE FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH
THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD
YOU.
If you perform the slide cut without pulling
the carriage fully or if you perform the slide
cut towards you, the blade may kickback unex-
pectedly with the potential to cause SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY. Never perform the slide cut
with the handle locked in the lowered position
by pressing the stop pin.
MITER CUTTING (Fig. 9)
Loosen the knob by
turning counterclock-
wise. When you have
moved the knob to
the position where the pointer points to the
desired angle on the miter scale, securely
tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION: When turning the rotary table,
be sure to raise the handle fully. After chang-
ing the miter angle, always secure the rotary
table by tightening the knob firmly.
BEVEL CUTTING (Fig. 10)
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set
the bevel angle (refer to the previously cov-
ered “ Adjusting the bevel angle”).
Be sure to retighten
the lever firmly to se-
cure the selected bev-
el angle safely. Secure
the workpiece with a
clamp. Make sure the
carriage is pulled all
the way back toward the operator fully. Switch
on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Then gently lower the handle to the
fully lowered position while applying pressure
in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE CAR-
RIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE
WORKPIECE.
