ADJUSTING DOWNWARD TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
2.The downward travel of the saw blade can be limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal sur- faces of the machine. This adjustment is made by loos- ening locknut (A) Fig. 31, and turning adjusting screw (B) in or out.
3.When making this adjustment, make sure the machine is disconnected from the power source and lower the blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade by hand to make certain the teeth do not contact any metal surfaces.

TYPICAL OPERATIONS AND HELPFUL HINTS
1.Before cutting, make certain the miter and bevel angles are set and firmly locked in place.
2.Before cutting, determine that the workpiece is the right size for the saw.
3.Place the workpiece on the table and hold it firmly against the fence.
4.For best results cut at a slow, even cutting rate.
5.If the workpiece you are cutting causes your hand to be within 4 inches of the saw blade the workpiece must be clamped to the fence before cutting.
6.Never attempt any freehand cutting (wood that is not held firmly against the fence and table).

enabling you to cross-cut a standard 2 x 6 in one pass.
