OPERATION
 Loosen the slide lock knob by turning the knob counter-
clockwise.
 Press the LED button to project the blade's shadow onto
the workpiece.
 Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against
the fence. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure
the workpiece when possible.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
 With the saw off, grasp the saw handle firmly then pull
the saw forward until the blade arbor (center of the saw
blade) is over the front of the workpiece.
 Squeeze the switch trigger and allow several seconds for
the blade to reach maximum speed.
 Slowly lower the blade into and through the front edge
of the workpiece.
 Push the saw handle away from you and toward the bevel
scale at the back of the saw.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece
and removing the workpiece from miter table.
TO MAKE NON-SLIDING CUTS
WARNING:
Securely tighten the slide lock knob when making
any non-sliding cuts. Failure to tighten the knob
could result in the saw head moving during the
cutting operation.
TO MITER CUT / CROSS CUT
See Figures 30 - 31.
A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the
workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table
set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the
miter table set at some angle other than zero.
 Slide the saw head to its most rearward position and
tighten the slide lock knob securely.
 Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
 Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
 Rotate the control arm until the scale indicator aligns with
the desired angle on the miter scale.
 Release the detent release button, then push the miter
lock lever down to secure the miter table.
NOTE: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, 31.6°, and
45° left or right by releasing the detent release button as you
rotate the control arm. The control arm will seat itself in one
of the positive stop notches, located in the miter table base.
