USING THE WORK CLAMP AND STOCK STOP
Figures 79 and 80 illustrate a compound miter/bevel cut being made using the work clamp (A), which is used to firmly hold the work against the table, and the auxiliary fence (B), which has been adjusted to be used as a stock stop. IMPORTANT: When the work clamp (A) is used in conjunction with the stock stop (B), the work clamp (A) and stock stop (B) Fig. 80, should ALWAYS be on the same side of the saw blade. This is important as it prevents the free end of the workpiece from binding between the blade and the stock stop.
USING SAW AS
A CHOP SAW
The sliding action of the saw must be locked in the rear position, as shown in Fig. 81, by tightening lock knob (A), when cutting material that is narrow enough to allow the saw blade to cut through in a chopping motion. The cuttinghead (B) is pushed straight down to make the cut. After the cut is completed, release the switch trigger and let the blade come to a complete stop before returning the cuttinghead to the up position.
DADO CUTTING
Dado cutting can easily be accomplished with your compound slide saw, as shown in Fig. 82, using a single saw blade and moving the workpiece sideways the width of the saw blade after each cut. The cut is made in the conventional way as explained in the section “CORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURE” and the downward travel of the saw blade is adjusted for the depth of the dado as explained in the section “ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE”.
