SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP
TO 12-1/4 in. WIDE (FIG. CC)

To avoid injury:
●

Never pull the cutting head

assembly and spinning blade toward
you during the cut. The blade may
try to climb up on the top of the
workpiece, causing the cutting
assembly and spinning blade to kick
back, forcefully. The cutting head
assembly should be drawn back
completely then pushed forward
when sawing.

●

Let the blade reach full speed before

cutting. This will help reduce the risk
of a thrown workpiece.

To Slide Cut Wide Boards (Fig. CC)
1. Unlock the carriage lock handle (1)

and allow the cutting head assembly
to move freely.

2. Set both the desired bevel angle

and/or the miter angle and lock into
position.
