Use this operation to crosscut boards up to 12-1/4 inches wide.

Referring to Figure 30:

1.Unlock the carriage lock knob (D).

2.Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the miter angle as described in Compound Cuts (page 24); then lock into position.

3.If bevel cutting, set both the left and right sliding fences (C) to their proper location.

4.Use a hold down clamp to secure the workpiece.

5.Grasp the switch handle (F) and pull the carriage (A) forward until the center of the saw blade is over the front of the workpiece (B).

6.Pull the trigger (E) to turn the saw on.

7.

When the saw reaches full speed, push the
