Press cutting (cutting small
workpieces)
1
► 1. Two clamping screws which secure the slide pole
2. Holder assembly
Workpieces up to 50 mm (2") high and 97 mm
(3-13/16") wide can be cut in the following way.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece
with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains full
speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to
the fully lowered position to cut 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:
• Firmly tighten two clamping screws which
secure the slide poles clockwise so that the car-
riage will not move during operation. Insufficient
tightening may cause unexpected kickback
of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL
INJURY may result.

Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
1
► 1. Two clamping screws which secure the slide pole
2. Holder assembly
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles counterclockwise 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 com-
pleted, 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 low-
ered 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.
