WARNING
Allow blade to come to a
complete stop before
lifting the saw from cut. Also, never pull the
saw backward since blade will climb out of
the material and KICKBACK will occur. Turn
saw around and finish the cut in the normal
manner, sawing forward. If corners of your
plunge cut are not completely cut through, use
a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.
Cutting large sheets
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut without
leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICKBACK and
extra load on the motor (Fig. 10).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in (Fig. 11). Be sure to set the depth of
the cut so that you cut through the sheet or board only and not the table or work bench. The
two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be positioned so that the broadest
sides support the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow
sides as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table
or work bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the floor and secure.
