OPERATIONS
STARTING SAW
Trigger switch located on control handgrip of the saw used for starting the blade in manual or
semi-automatic mode.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE SAW WITHOUT BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
Be sure the blade is not in contact with the work when the motor is started. Start the motor,
allow the saw to come to full speed, then begin to cut by letting the head down slowly onto the
work. DO NOT DROP OR FORCE. Let the weight of the saw head produce the cutting force.
The saw automatically shuts off at the end of the cut.
USAGE OF THE QUICK RELEASE & TRAVERSING VISE
The workpiece is places between the vise jaws with the amount to be cut off extending out past
the blade. Your machine is equipped a handwheel and quick release lever that moves the
clamping jaw forward and backwards. With material in place run the vise jaw up to where it just
touches the material, then back off the jaw a quarter turn or enough so the material, can slightly
move. (Make sure when you adjust the vise that the quick release lever is in the up position).
Now push the lever down to lock the material for cutting. Pull up on the lever to release the
material.
The vise can also be positioned left or right of the blade, so you can miter cut in both directions.
This is accomplished by pulling the traversing lever to unlock the vise then you can slide the
vise left or right. Lock vise down with the lever.
