TO SLIDE CUT WIDE BOARDS (FIG. 37)
● Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow
the cutting head assembly to move freely.
● Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the
miter angle and lock into position.
● Use a hold down clamp to secure the
workpiece (4).
● Grasp the switch handle (2) and pull the
carriage (3) forward until the center of the
saw blade is over the front of the
workpiece (4).
● Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
● When the saw reaches full speed, slowly
push the saw handle down, cutting through
the leading edge of the workpiece (4).
● Slowly move the saw handle back toward the
fence, completing the cut.
● Release the trigger and allow the blade to
stop spinning before raising the cutting head
and removing the workpiece (4).
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. 38)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against
the fence and secured with a clamp (1) before
cutting as shown. 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.
CUTTING GROOVES (FIG. 39)
WARNING
!
DO NOT USE A DADO BLADE, use only the
standard 10 in. diameter saw blade for this
operation.
● Mark lines identifying the width and depth
of the desired cut on the workpiece and
position on the table so the outside tip of the
blade is positioned on the inside edge of the
line. Use a clamp to secure the workpiece
beside the blade.
● Lower the cutting head to the depth marked
on the workpiece, holding the upper arm,
and adjust the stop knob (1) until it touches
the stop plate (2).
● Cut two parallel grooves as shown in Fig. 39.
