SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO
8 in. WIDE (FIGURE CC)
WARNING
!
• 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.
