SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP
TO 8 IN. WIDE (FIG. EE)
WARNING
!
To avoid injury:
● Never pull the cutting head
assembly and spinning blade
toward you during the cut. The
blade may try to climb up on the
top of the workpiece, causing the
cutting assembly and spinning
blade to kick back forcefully. The
cutting head assembly should
be drawn back completely then
pushed forward when sawing.
● Let the blade reach full speed
before cutting. This will help
reduce the risk of a thrown
workpiece.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. EE)
1. Unlock the slide carriage lock
knob (1) and allow the cutting head
to move freely.
2. Set both the desired bevel angle
and/or the miter angle and lock into
position.
3. Use a hold down clamp to secure
the workpiece.
4. Turn the Laser Trac
position the workpiece on the table
for prealignment of your cut.
5. Grasp and pull forward the switch
handle (2) until the center of the
saw blade is over the front of the
workpiece (3).
6. Engage the trigger to turn the
saw on.
7. When the saw reaches full speed,
push the switch handle (2) down,
cutting slowly through the leading
edge of the workpiece.
