•Before turning on the sew, perform a dry run of the

cuffing operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

•Grasp the sew handle firmly, push the lock-off lever down, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow sev- eral seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

•Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. See Figures 29 and 30.

•Release the switch trigger and allow the sew 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 miter table.

SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 31.

Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay fiat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
