OPERATION
TO CROSSCUT
See Figure 34.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter crosscuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.
nPull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
nLift the miter table clamp.
�n Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the miter scale.
�n Push the miter table clamp down to lock.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°,
nPlace the workpiece flat on the miter table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
nWhen cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table.
nAlign cutting line on workpiece with edge of saw blade.
nGrasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a
nBefore turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
nGrasp the saw handle firmly, depress the switch lock, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
nSlowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
nRelease the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from the miter table.
