CAUTION:
• Firmly tighten the clamp screw on the turn base
clockwise so that the carriage will not move during
operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected
kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL
INJURY may result.
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
002178
Loosen the clamp screw on the turn base counterclock-
wise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the
workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact
and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press down the
handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE
GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the
handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER
START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY
PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut
without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the
slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback
unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious
PERSONAL INJURY.
• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the
lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.
• Never loosen the clamp screw which secures the
carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause
serious injury.
3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
