SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 8 in. WIDE (FIG. AA)

!WARNING

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.
