and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.

Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut,
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage 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.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.

Bevel cut

WARNING:
cut, ensure that the carriage and saw blade will
have free travel throughout the entire range of the
intended cut before operating the tool. Interruption
of the carriage or blade travel during the cutting opera-
tion may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
out of the path of the saw blade. The angle of the blade may
confuse the operator as to the actual blade path while cutting
and contact with the blade will result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
until it has come to a complete stop. During a bevel
cut, the piece cut off may come to rest against the saw
blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating, the cut-off
piece may be ejected by the blade causing the material
to fragment which may result in serious personal injury.
