*If the handle is pressed down with excessive or lateral force, the
saw blade may vibrate during the cutting operation and cause
unwanted cutting marks on the workpiece, thus reducing the
quality of the cut.
Accordingly, press the handle down gently and carefully.
*In slide cutting, gently push the handle back (rearwards) in a single,
smooth operation.
Stopping the handle movement during the cut will cause unwanted
cutting marks on the workpiece.
*For slide cutting, follow the procedures indicated above in Fig. 21.
Forward slide cutting (toward the operator) is very dangerous
because the saw blade could kick upward from the workpiece.
Therefore, always slide the handle away from the operator.
*Always return the carriage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation in order to reduce the risk of injury.
*Never put your hand on the side handle during the cutting operation
because the saw blade comes close to the side handle when the
motor head is lowered.
(1) Workpieces up to 65mm (2-9/16") high
and 305mm (12") wide:
Loosen the slide securing knob, grip the
handle and slide the saw blade forward.
Then press down on the handle and slide
the saw blade back to cut the workpiece
as indicated in Fig. 21. This facilitates
cutting of workpieces of up to 65mm (2-9/
16") in height and 305mm (12") in width.
(2) Workpieces up to 75mm (2-15/16") high
and 280mm (11") wide:
Workpieces of up to 75mm (2-15/16") in
height and up to 280mm (11") in width can
be cut in the same manner as described
in paragraph 5-(1) above.
