SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP
TO 12 IN. WIDE
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. GG)
1. Unlock the slide carriage lock
knob (1) and allow the cutting head
assembly 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.

push the switch handle down slowly,
cutting through the leading edge of
the workpiece.
