Fig. LL 3 SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 12-1/4 IN. WIDE (FIG. MM) WARNING I To avoid injury: • Never pull the cutting head assembly and spinning blade toward you during the cut, The blade may try to climb up on the top of the workpiece, causing the cutting assembly and spinning blade to kick back, forcefully, The cutting head assembly should be drawn back completely then pushed forward when sawing, • Let the blade reach full speed before cutting, This will help reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece, • Extending the fence by sliding it out to the required location or remove the right sliding fence if necessary, See "SLIDING FENCE or REMOVE SLIDING FENCE", 3. Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the miter angle and lock into position. 4. If bevel cutting, set both the left and right sliding fences (2) to their proper location. 5. Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece. 6. Grasp the switch handle (3) and pull the carriage (4) forward until the center of the saw blade is over the front of the workpiece (5). 7. Pull the trigger (6) to turn the saw on. 8. When the saw reaches full speed, push the saw handle down, slowly, cutting through the leading edge of the workpiece. 9. Slowly move the saw handle toward the fence, completing the cut. 10. Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop spinning before allowing the cutting head to raise.
