OPERATION
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not con-
tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch
is turned on. Turning the tool on with the blade in
contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not touch the clamp screws
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the
handle from the lowered position by pulling the
stopper pin.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark
may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut may be impaired.
Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
WARNING:
Firmly tighten two clamp screws
which secure the slide poles clockwise so that
the carriage will not move during operation.
Insufficient tightening of the locking screw may cause
possible kickback which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
► Fig.45: 1. Thumb screw 2. Holder assembly
Workpieces up to 52 mm high and 97 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise to secure the carriage.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
2.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any

contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before
lowering.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling the car-
riage towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
the handle locked in the lowered position.
WARNING:
secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. A
loose carriage while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible in serious personal injury.
► Fig.46: 1. Thumb screw 2. Holder assembly
1. Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.

4.
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Press the handle down and push the carriage
toward the guide fence and through the workpiece.
6. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter angle".
Bevel cut
WARNING:
cut, before operating the tool ensure that the
carriage and blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of
the carriage or blade travel during the cutting opera-
tion may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
out of the path of the blade. The angle of the blade may
confuse the operator as to the actual blade path while cutting
and contact with the blade will result in serious personal injury
WARNING:
until it has come to a complete stop. During a bevel
cut the piece cut off may come to rest against the
blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off
piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the material
to fragment which may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
(Only for tools with sub-fence) Always set
the sub-fence outside when performing left bevel cuts.
