SLIDE CUTTING WIDE BOARDS UP TO 12” (30.5 cm) WIDE
To avoid injury:
• Let the blade reach full speed before cutting. This will help reduce the risk of a thrown workpiece.
• Do not make crosscuts by lowering the blade and pulling the cutting headthrough the wood toward
you.
To Slide Cut Wide Boards
• Unlock the carriage lock knob (1) and allow the cutting head to move freely.
• Set both the desired bevel angle and/or the mitre
angle and lock into position.
• Use a work clamp (2) to secure the workpiece (3).
• Grasp and pull the switch handle (4) forward until
the centre of the saw blade is over the front of the
workpiece.
• 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.
SETTING CUTTING DEPTH
The depth of cut can be preset for even and repetitive
shallow cuts.
• Slide the stop plate (1) towards the front position.
• Loosen the lock nut (2) to free the lock knob (3), turn
the stop knob until the cutting head down until the
teeth of the blade are at the desired depth.
•
While holding the upper arm in that position, tighten
the lock nut to secured the stop knob.
• Recheck the blade depth by moving the cutting head
front to back through the full motion of typical cut
along the control arm.
CUTTING GROOVES
• 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 work 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, loosen the
lock nut and turn the stop knob until it touches the
stop plate, then retighten the lock nut.
• Cut two parallel grooves as shown.
• Use a wood chisel or make multiple passes with a
router to remove the material between the two outside
grooves to create the groove.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
When cutting warped material, be sure that the convex side
is against the fence. If the workpiece is placed with the
concave side facing the fence, it will pinch the blade near
the completion of the cutting.
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cut-off pieces of 1” (2.5 cm) 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
