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 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)
002203
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
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,
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.
AND THROUGH
the blade may kickback
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".
4. Bevel cut
002204
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered
"Adjusting the bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten
the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle
safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure
the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the
operator. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains
full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully
lowered position while applying pressure in parallel
with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE
TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE 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.
THE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the blade will move down to
•
bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out
of path of saw blade.
During a bevel cut, it may create a condition
•
whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against
the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the
blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by
the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which
is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY
after the blade has come to a complete stop.
When pressing the handle down, apply pressure
•
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to
the blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might
be shifted and the precision of the cut will be
impaired.
5. Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter
