Wen 70712 Manual

CROSS-CUTTING WITH SLIDE ACTION
When cutting wide work pieces, first unscrew the slide lock knob (FIGURE 3).
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2), raise the saw arm to its highest position and slide it towards you.
2. Hold the handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the blade to reach maximum speed.
3. Slowly lower the blade into the workpiece while pushing it away from you until the workpiece is cut.
4. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
Wait until the blade stops before removing the workpiece.
BEVEL CUT
A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade set an angle to the miter table. The
miter table is set to the zero degree position with the bevel angle is set to between 0° and 45° (FIGURE 23). Use
the slide action when cutting wide workpieces.
1. Pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2) and lift the saw arm to its full height.
2. Loosen the miter lock (FIGURE 10).
3. Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale. Retighten the miter lock.

5. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely against the fence.
If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break and jam the blade.
6. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite end of the timber
with either the side support arms, a roller stand, a work surface level with the
saw’s table, or a combination of the three.
7. Use the clamp assembly to secure the workpiece wherever possible.
8. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening the clamp assembly
lock and moving it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly
lock is tight before using the clamp (FIGURE 21).
9. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check
that there are no problems.
10. Hold the operating handle firmly and squeeze the switch trigger. Allow the
blade to reach maximum speed and slowly lower the blade into and through the
workpiece.
11. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before rais-
ing the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the blade stops before removing
the workpiece.
