OPERATION
NOTICE:
•
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
•
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without 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 toward
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.
WARNING:
•
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
1.
Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

011409
Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 70 mm wide can
be cut in the following manner.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the
carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the
proper type of vise. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed before lowering. Then gently
lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut
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.
WARNING:
•
Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the
carriage will not move during operation.
Insufficient tightening of the knob may cause
possible kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
2.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
1
011410
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that
the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece
with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press the handle down and
PUSH THE CARRIAGE 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.
WARNING:
•
Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the
carriage full towards you and press the handle
all the way down, then push the carriage
toward the guide fence. Never start the cut with
the carriage not pulled fully toward you.
If you
perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur
and serious personal injury may result.
•
Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling
the carriage towards you.
Pulling the carriage
towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
