Workpieces as wide as shown in Table 2 can be cut with the motor head sliding. The lower limit position of the saw blade is factory-

adjusted so that workpieces up to 65 mm (2-9/16") high and 312 mm (12-1/4") wide can be cut as shown in Fig. 6-a. When cutting a workpiece of 75 mm (2-15/16") in height as indicated in [ ] in Table 2, adjust the saw so that there is a clearance of 2 to 3 mm (3/32" to 1/8") between the bottom surface of the head and the top surface of the

workpiece at the lower limit position of the saw blade as shown in Fig. 6-b. (See the Instruction Manual "Lower limit position of saw blade when cutting a large workpiece.")

Please note that, when cutting in this position, it is necessary to use an auxiliary board of 30 mm (1-3/16") wide so that the workpiece on the fence side can be cut fully in width.

Press cutting with the head swiveling enables cutting square workpieces as large as shown in Table 3 in a single sawing operation. It is convenient for cutting narrow workpieces (Fig. 7).
