OPERATION
SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
See Figures 39 - 40.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports, roller stand,
or work surface level with the saw table should be placed
along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should
let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work
table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp,
C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to secure the workpiece
when possible.
NOTE: When making a compound miter cut as shown
in figure 40, it may be necessary to adjust or remove the
sliding miter fence to ensure proper clearance prior to
making the cut.
WARNING:
Never make a cut by pulling the saw toward you
as the blade can climb on top of the workpiece
and come toward you. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.
TO SLIDE CUT
See Figures 41 - 42.
The sliding feature will cut workpieces 14 in. wide x 4-1/2 in.
thick and 16 in. wide by 1-1/2 in. thick.
With the saw off, pull the saw arm forward. Turn the saw
on (let blade reach maximum speed), push the blade down
cutting into the workpiece then back toward the rear of the
saw to make a cut. Cuts are made by pushing the saw blade
away from you and toward the bevel scale at the back of the
saw stopping when the full rear position has been reached
after each cut. When the saw is running (turned on), NEVER
pull the saw blade toward you or toward the front of the saw.
