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 the handle
down 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.
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the
•
carriage full towards you and press the handle
all the way down, then push the carriage toward
the guide fence. Never start the cut with the
carriage not pulled fully toward you. If you
perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur
and serious personal injury may result.
Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling
•
the carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage
towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal
injury.
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked
•
in the lowered position.
Never loosen the knob which secures the

4. Bevel cut
009505
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
THE
off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS
COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before
•
operating the tool ensure that the carriage and
blade will have free travel throughout the entire
range of the intended cut. Interruption of the
carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation
may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the
•
path of the blade. The angle of the blade may
confuse the operator as to the actual blade path
while cutting and contact with the blade will result
in serious personal injury.
The blade should not be raised until it has
•
come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut the
piece cut off may come to rest against the blade.
If the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off
piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the
material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
