Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation just to make sure that no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
Grasp the saw handle firmly, slide the lock-off lever
back, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to roach maximum speed.
Slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece. See Figures 29 and 30.
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade
to stop rotating before raising the blade out of
workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade
from turning before removing the workpiece from
miter table.
