MAKING OTHER CUTS

See Figures 47 and 48.

Variations from the basic cuts include cutting long workpieces and non-through cuts.

When making one of the following cuts, follow the instructions that apply for the basic cut, depending on the position, shape, and size of the wood. Do not attempt these cuts until you are skilled with the basic cuts.

CUTTING LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 47.

•Place a support the same height as the saw table nearby for the cut work.

,_k WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is working properly to prevent possible injury.

WARNING: Never put your hands within 3 in. of the blade when it is on.

•Make sure the wood does not touch the blade

before you turn on the saw with the switch on the arm. Let the blade build up to full speed before it contacts the wood.

•When the work is completed, press the switch off and remove the key.
