Making A Non-Through Cut - Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2736-20 Manual Del Operador

9. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on
the miter gauge and feed the workpiece into
the blade. NOTE: The hand closest to the blade
should be placed on the miter gauge lock knob
and the hand farthest from the blade should be
placed on the workpiece.
10. Turn OFF the saw. Wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
Making a Large Panel Cut
Make sure the saw is properly secured to a work sur-
face to avoid tipping from the weight of a large panel.
Make sure the blade guard assem-
WARNING
bly is installed and working prop-
erly to avoid serious possible injury.
Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter
gauge or rip fence). Unguided workpieces can
result in serious injury.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Set the blade to the correct depth for the work-
piece.
3. Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip
fence or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to
use either the rip fence or the miter gauge, it is
too large for this saw.
4. Place a support the same height as the table sur-
face behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports
to the sides as needed.
5. Install a feather board in the appropriate position
for the cut being made.
6. Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
7. Turn ON the saw. Allow the saw to come to full
speed.
8. Use proper hand positions for cross cut or rip cut,
as necessary.
9. Turn OFF the saw. Wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Making a Non-Through Cut

Non-through cuts can be made with the grain (rip-
ping) or across the grain (cross cut). The use of
a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves,
rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut that
is made without the riving knife with blade guard
installed. Use the riving knife without blade guard.
Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled
upon completion of this type of cut. Read the ap-
propriate section which describes the type of cut
in addition to this section on non-through or dado
cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a rip
cut, read and understand the section on rip cuts
before proceeding.
When making a non-through cut,
WARNING
the blade is covered by the work-
piece during most of the cut. Be alert to the ex-
posed blade at the start and finish of every cut
to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Never feed wood with your hands when making
any non-through cut such as rabbets or dadoes.
To avoid personal injury, always use push blocks,
push sticks, and featherboards.
Do not make complex non-through cuts, such as
plunge cuts, resawing, moulding head cutting,
or plowing.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the riving knife with blade guard and
anti-kickback pawls.
3. Install the riving knife.
4. Adjust the bevel angle to 0°.
5. Set the blade to the correct depth for the work-
piece.
6. Depending on the shape and size of the work-
piece, use the rip fence or miter gauge.
7. Install a feather board in the appropriate position
for the cut being made.
8. Insert the battery pack.
9. Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
10. Turn ON the saw. Allow the saw to come to full
speed.
11. Use a push stick and/or push blocks to move the
piece into the cut.
12. Turn OFF the saw. Wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
13. Once all non-through cuts are complete, remove
the battery pack and reinstall the riving knife with
