INSTALLING CONTROL CUT DEVICE
See Figure 34.
Note: Before installingthe control cut device, the yoke
assembly will travel backand forward on the
carriage by pullingthe handle. After installing
the controlcut device, the power cord for the
controlcut device must be plugged inand
switch trigger pressed to movethe yoke
assembly and carriage on the arm.
_k WARNING: Do not installthe controlcut device
untilafter allof theinitial adjustments and
alignments are made to prevent accidental
starting of the saw that could result in serious
personal injury.
The controlcut device offersmany benefits. As it
increases operator control,it eliminates the risk in a
crosscut of the saw "climbing" out and over the
workpiece at the operator. Feed control ofthe blade
as it cuts through the workpiece increases, as does
the accuracy of the cut.
The control cutcable maintains a steady pullon the
carriage assembly from the column. This tension
keeps the assembly at the column, unless you
squeeze the switch trigger inthe handle. The switch
triggeractivates the motor to counter the pull of the
cable.
After a cutis completed, press the switch on the arm
off, then release the switch trigger to prevent further
forward motion. Hold the handle untilthe blade has
stopped rotating. The yoke assembly willnot roll
forward unless you are squeezing the switch trigger.
The control cut power cord is designed tooperate on
asingle voltage AC circuit.The speed can be set with
a thumbwheel on topof the handle. The three speed
settingsare described on the label located on the left
side ofthe control cut housing.
,_ WARNING." Do not use the saw without the
controlcut and blade guards in place unless
specificallyinstructed to do so. Otherwise
uncontrolledcontact withthe blade could occur,
resulting in personal injury.
,_= WARNING: Take great care when working with
either cord to ensure you have the correct one. If
you intend to unplug the main power cord but
remove the control cut cord instead, the
blade could be accidentally started and cause
injury.
