Position
your
body
and
hands
properly
to make cutting
easier and safer. Observe
the
following instructions (Figure 19).
•
Never place
hands near cutting
area. Keep hands
outside the "No Hands Zone".
The "No Hands Zone" is
defined as the area between marked lines on the left and
right side of the Base, including
the entire Table and
portion of the Fence within these marked lines. This zone
is labeled by "No Hands" symbols placed just inside the
marked lines on the Base.
•
Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent movement.
•
Keep hands in position until trigger has been released
and blade has stopped completely.
•
Keep feet firmly
on the floor
and maintain
proper
balance.
•
Follow the miter arm when mitering left or right. Stand
slightly to the side of the saw blade.
•
Sight through the lower guard if following a pencil line.
•
Before making any cut, with the power off, lower the
blade to preview the blade path.
The
lower
guard
may
not
automatically
open under certain cutting
conditions.
If this
occurs:
Typically this may occur when trying to cut workpieces
that are near the maximum
cutting
height capacity.
Under these conditions,
the workpiece
can stop the
lower guard movement before the downward
motion of
the arm could preopen the lower guard. If this occurs:
•
Workpiece
must be securely clamped.
This frees
your left hand to raise the guard 1 by the lip 2 just
enough to clear the workpiece (Figure 20).
•
Start the saw and begin your cut.
•
Once you have cleared
the position
where the lower
guard may bind, release the guard and it will continue to
raise automatically as you cut.
