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.
o Extending the fence by sliding
it out to the required location or
remove the right sliding fence if
necessary. See "SLiDiNG
FENCE
or REMOVING SLiDiNG FENCE".
To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. KK)
1. Unlock the 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. If bevel cutting, set both the left
and right sliding fences (2) to their
proper location.
4. Use a hold down clamp to secure
the workpiece.
5. Grasp the switch handle (3) and pull
the carrying handle (4) forward until
the center of the saw blade is over
the front of the workpiece (5).
6. Using your right thumb, press
in the safety lock-off button (6).
While holding the lock-off button
in, depress the main On/Off trigger
switch (7).
7. When the saw reaches full speed,
push the saw handle down, slowly,
cutting through the leading edge of
the workpiece.
8. Slowly move the saw handle toward
the fence, completing the cut.
9. Release the trigger and allow
the blade to stop spinning before
allowing the cutting head to raise.
