SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP
TO 8 in. WIDE (FIG. Z)
[,_ WARNING]
To avoid injury:
o 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.
o Let the blade reach full speed
before cutting. This will help
reduce the risk of a thrown
workpiece.
