Loosen the clamp screw on the arm so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then

gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When the cut i s completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to i t s fully elevated position.

CAUTION:

Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. If you perform the slide cut without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kick back unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious injury.

3.Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the miter angle".

4.Bevel cut

Left and right 0" - 45" bevel cuts can be performed. At a left 45" bevel angle, work-

pieces up to 48 mm (1-7/8") high and 310 mm (12-3/16") wide or 57 mm (2-1/4") high and 290 mm (11-7/16") wide can be cut. At a right 45" bevel angle, workpieces up to 31 mm (1-1/4") high and 310 mm (12-3/16") wide or 40 mm (1-9/16") high and 290 mm (11-7/16") wide can be cut.

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle. Be sure to re-tighten the

lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the worktiece with a vise.

Switch on the tool and wait until the

blade attains full speed. Then gently Apply pressure in lower the handle to the fully lowered

position while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to i t s fully elevated position.
