 Unlock the carriage lock handle (1) and allow the cutting head assembly to move freely.
 Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the mitre angle and lock into position.
 Use a hold down clamp (2) to secure the workpiece (3).
 Grasp and pull the switch handle (4) forward until the center of the saw blade is over the
front of the workpiece (3).
 Engage the trigger to turn the saw on.
 When the saw reaches full speed, slowly push the switch handle down, cutting through the
leading edge of the workpiece.
 Slowly move the switch handle toward the fence, completing the cut.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to stop spinning before raising the cutting head
and removing the workpiece.
9.7 Cutting bowed material (Fig. 27)
 A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence and secured with a clamp (1)
before cutting as shown. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece
without the support of the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could result in
personal injury.
9.8 Cutting grooves (Fig. 28)
WARNING: DO NOT USE A DADO BLADE, use only the standard saw blade
for this operation.
 Mark lines to identify the width and depth of the desired cut on the workpiece and put the
workpiece on the table and aim the inside tip of the blade at the line. Use a clamp to
secure the workpiece on the table.
 Lower the cutting head so the tip of the blade touches the top surface of the workpiece at
the marked line.
 While holding the upper arm in position, turn the stop knob (2) until it touches the stop
plate (1).
 Cut two parallel grooves as shown.
9.9 Auxiliary wood fence (Fig. 29)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-off pieces of one inch or less, it is
possible for the saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the saw or into the blade
guard and housing, possibly causing damage or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence
(1) can be mounted to your saw. Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood
fence (this provides additional depth of cut). This fence should be constructed of straight auxiliary
wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by 1-1/2 in. high by 16 in. long. Attach the wood fence securely
and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot. Check for interference between the wood fence
and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with the saw blade in the 0° bevel
position (90° to the table). The auxiliary wood fence must be removed when
bevel cutting.
