making a LARGE PANEL cut
See Figure 50.
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work surface to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter fence or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can result in serious injury.
Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to the sides as needed.
Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or miter fence. If the panel is too large to use either the rip fence or the miter fence, it is too large for this saw.
Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you turn on the saw.
Turn the saw on.
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
Use a push stick to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
