5.Slide workpiece into position against the adjustable stop, while double checking the cut size via the crosscut rulers. Make sure workpiece is adequately supported. Use one hand to guide it.
Do not hold workpiece so that your hand is behind the carriage or guides or near the path of the blade.
6.Start motor and allow it to reach full speed.
7.Pull carriage down slowly and smoothly as the blade moves through the workpiece. Keep one hand on the handle at all times and do not force the saw.
NOTE: If the blade binds in the workpiece, or the workpiece shifts during the cut, stop the motor, return the carriage to the top of the guides, restart motor, and then begin the cut again.
8.Support and remove the
9.Once the cut is complete, turn off the motor and wait for the blade to come to a full stop (NOTE: A coasting saw blade can mar the edge of a freshly cut workpiece).
10.Remove the workpieces, return the carriage to the top of the guides, and lock the carriage.
Ripcutting
A ripcut is a horizontal cut made right to left. See Figure 11. The workpiece must always be moved in the direction of the arrow on the carriage.
Ripping must be done in direction of the arrow on saw carriage to prevent risk of injury.
The minimum length recommended for rip (horizontal) cuts is
Here is the basic procedure for ripcutting:
1.Make sure there is enough space on both sides of saw to completely load, pass, and offload the workpiece.
2.Pull indexing pin on turntable (Figure 12), and rotate turntable counterclockwise. The indexing pin will lock into place.
