OPERATION

MAKING CUTS

The blade provided with the saw is a high-quality combination blade suitable for ripping and cross cut operations.

WARNING:

Do not use blades rated less than the speed of this tool. Failure to heed this warning could result in personal injury.

Use the miter gauge when making cross, miter, bevel, and compound miter cuts. To secure the angle, lock the miter gauge in place by twisting the lock knob clockwise. Always tighten the lock knob securely in place before use.

NOTE: It is recommended that you place the piece to be saved on the left side of the blade and that you make a test cut on scrap wood first.

MAKING A CROSS CUT

See Figures 35 - 36.

It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.

WARNING:

Using the rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting will result in kickback which can cause serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.
