Pull down on the saw head to check the current
setting. Turn the depth adjustment knob until the
desired depth of cut is attained. (See Fig. 18)
•
A wooden spacer must be placed between the
workpiece and the fence to create a distance of 2 1/2"
(63.5 mm) between the workpiece and the fence for a
consistent depth of cut in the workpiece. Use the
workpiece clamp to clamp the spacer and another
suitable clamp to clamp the workpiece. Make the slide
cut at the desired depth.
•
Turn the saw o , pull the saw arm forward.
•
Turn the precision blade guide systems ON/OFF switch
on to project the blade shadow onto the workpiece.
•
Grasp the workpiece rmly with one hand and secure it
against the fence.

Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to make sure that no problems will
occur when the cut is made.
•
Grasp the saw handle rmly. Turn the switch on and
allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.
•
Push the blade down on top of the workpiece then
back toward the rear of the saw to make a cut.
•
Cut two outside grooves in the workpiece.
•
Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from the miter table.
•
Using a wood chisel, remove the material between
the two outside grooves.
•
When nished, turn the depth stop clockwise to
position A for normal through cutting. (See Fig. 18)
WARNING: Do not use a dado blade, use only the
standard 10" (254 mm) diameter saw blade for this
operation.

(38.1 x 304.8 mm), boards should be clamped securely as
shown Fig. 33.
