SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 12-1/2 IN. WIDE
(FIG. MM)
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. MM)
1. Unlock the sliding 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.
4. Turn the laser guide on and position the workpiece
on the table for prealignment of your cut.
5. Grasp the trigger switch handle (2) and pull the carriage
(3) forward until the center of the saw blade is over the
front of the workpiece (4).
6. Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
7. When the saw reaches full speed, slowly push the saw
handle down, cutting through the leading edge of the
workpiece.
8. Slowly move the trigger switch handle back toward the
fence, completing the cut.

CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. NN)
WARNING
To avoid injury from materials being
thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid accidental
starting and remove small pieces of material from
the table cavity underlying the table insert.
The table insert may be removed
for this purpose, but always reattach
table insert prior to performing a
cutting operation. A bowed
workpiece (1) must be
positioned against the
fence and secured with
a hold-down clamp (2)
as shown before cutting.
Do not position
workpiece incorrectly or
try to cut the workpiece
without the support of
the fence. This will cause
the blade to bind and could
result in personal injury.
