The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag,
fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material

should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece
support will help avoid blade pinch and possible
kickback which may result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin
material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the sliding
•
fence is secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of
•
the tool, especially the blade, contacts the
upper and lower fences when fully lowering
and raising the handle in any position and
while moving the carriage through its full range
of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with the
fence this may result in kickback or unexpected
movement of the material and serious personal
injury.
