Slide Cut

During a slide cut, the slide rail lock knob is loose, the head assembly is pulled towards the operator, the head assembly is lowered to the workpiece and then pushed to the rear of the saw to make the cut.

This type of cut is used mainly for wide pieces.

A positive blade hook of 10 degrees or more is recommended for best performance when mak- ing aggressive cuts or cutting thicker materials. See page 36 for accessory blade listing.

NEVER pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb

up on top of the workpiece and force itself toward you.

Follow these instructions for making your slide cut:

1.Properly position workpiece. Make sure work- piece is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.

! WARNING

Use clamping position that does not

 

interfere with operation. Before

 

switching on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.

2.Loosen the slide rail lock knob (figure 27).

3.Grasp the switch handle and pull the head assembly away from the fence, until the blade clears the workpiece or to its maximum exten- sion if blade cannot clear the workpiece (Figure 27).

4.Activate the switch. Lower the assembly all the way down and cut through the edge of the work- piece.

5.Push (but do not force) the head assembly towards the fence to the full rear position to complete the cut.

6.Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
