USE
Refer to Figure 14–16
DANGER
• To avoid serious injury, keep hands out of the path of
the spinning blade. Maintain awareness of the blade at
all times.
• Always turn off and unplug the saw when making
any adjustments.
WARNING
• For your own safety, read all of the rules and precautions
before operating tool.
• Tighten all knobs and hold downs securing the workpiece
after making any adjustments and before making
any cuts.
1.
Slide the miter bar into the saw's miter slot and position the
crosscut sled at the front of the saw, clear of the blade.
2.
Set the fence to the desired angle of cut.
• Loosen the five star knob, rotate the fence and use the
protractor scale and cursor indicator to set the fence to
the desired angle of cut. Tighten the five star knob to
secure in place.

3.
NOTE: If desired, the MDF fence face can provide zero-
clearance support to minimize tear-out on the back of the
cut. To make this adjustment:
• Loosen the round knobs and slide the MDF fence face
in or out to the desired position and then tightening the
round knobs. Make sure the MDF fence face is out of the
blade's path so it will not be cut.
4.
Make sure the blade height is sufficient to cut through the
workpiece when it is on the crosscut sled.
IMPORTANT: After all adjustments have been made, tighten
all knobs and hold downs to secure the workpiece. DO NOT
attempt to cut pieces that are too short to be secured to the
crosscut sled with the hold down clamp.

OPERATION

5.
Place your workpiece on the sled, tight against the fence
and line up the desired cut line with the edge of the sled.
6.
Clamp your workpiece to the sled by positioning the hold
down clamp and tightening the five-star knob. See Figure 14
and 16.
7.
Turn on the saw and slowly advance the sled to make the
cut. Once the cut is complete, turn off the saw and allow the
blade to stop spinning before returning the sled to the front
of the saw. Figure 16.
8.
If you need to cut multiple pieces to the same length, use
the included flip stop. See Figure 14 and 16.

Flip Stop
Refer to Figure 14, 17
The POWERTEC 71367 3" fence flip stops are extremely
versatile and quickly convert from inboard to outboard
position for a variety of applications. In addition, the flip
arm can be moved from right to left to match your feed
direction requirements.
• Slide the T-Bolt on the bottom of the flip stop into the T-Slot on
the top of the fence. See Figure 14.
• In the inboard position, the stop works with the supplied multi
T-Track fence and functions as an easily adjustable stop.
• In the outboard position, the body rotates and the flip arm
moves out. In this position the stop can work with the supplied
multi T-Track fence and a 3/4" sacrificial wood board.
