OPERATION (ELECTRIC)

3.Adjust the cutting depth by pulling up or down on the Cutting Head Handle (Figure 21).This saw is designed, and is best utilized as a "Chop-Saw". Once the mounting plate release/lock lever is released, the optimum cutting action is attained by using the Raise/Lower Handle to rotate down onto the material to be cut. Simultaneously the conveyor cart is moved slowly forward to advance the material and cutting action.

A heavy-duty spring supports ergonomic return0t0-height action of the cutting head assembly.
