TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 35.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports, roller stand,
or work surface level with the saw table should be placed
along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should
let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work
table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp,
C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure the workpiece
when possible.
WARNING:
Never make a cut by pulling the saw toward you as the
blade can climb on top of the workpiece and come toward
you. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
TO SLIDE CUT
See Figures 36 - 37.
The sliding feature will cut workpieces 13-1/4 in. wide by
1-1/2 in. thick or 5-1/2 in. wide by 3-1/2 in. thick. With the
saw off, pull the saw arm forward. Turn the saw on (let blade
reach maximum speed), push the blade down cutting into the
workpiece then back toward the rear of the saw to make a
cut. Cuts are made by pushing the saw blade away from you
and toward the bevel scale at the back of the saw stopping
when the full rear position has been reached after each cut.
When the saw is running (turned on), NEVER pull the saw
blade toward you or toward the front of the saw.
 Raise saw arm to its full height.
 Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge
securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place
the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge
of a board is placed against the fence, the board could
collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the
blade. See Figures 42 - 43.
 When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support
the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with
a work surface level with the saw table. See Figure 35.
 Turn the LED switch on.
 Lower the blade and align the cutting line on the workpiece
with the edge of saw blade or the blade shadow.
 Loosen the slide lock knob by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp, C-clamp, or other suitable
clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when
the cut is made.
 With the saw off, grasp the saw handle firmly then pull
the saw forward until the blade arbor (center of the saw
blade) is over the front of the workpiece or until the saw
is fully extended.
OPERATION
LONG
WORKPIECE
 Grasp the saw handle firmly. Depress the trigger lockout
lever and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several
seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the front edge
of the workpiece.
 Push the saw handle away from you and toward the bevel
scale at the back of the saw.
