OPERATION
NOTICE: The miter-detent locking lever
can be disengaged from the miter detent
by lifting the lower part of the lever
(Fig. 27).
7. Plug the saw into an electrical socket.
8. Pull out the locking pin to release the saw
arm.
9. Place the work piece at on the miter
table with one edge rmly against the
fence. If the board is warped, place the
convex side against the fence. If the
concave edge of the board is against the
fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut and jam the
blade (see Fig. 32 & 33).
10. Turn on the dual lasers and align the
pencil line in the middle of the dual laser
lines.
11. Use the hold-down clamp to secure the
work piece against the saw table and
fence.
To avoid serious
personal injury, always tighten the miter
locking knob securely before making a
cut. Failure to do so could result in
movement of the control arm or miter
table while making a cut.
FIG. 27
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Never use another
person as an additional support for a
work piece that is longer or wider than the
basic saw table, or to help feed, support,
or pull the work piece.
To avoid serious
personal injury, always keep hands
outside of the “No-Hands Zone”, as
marked on the saw table, or at least
3” (7.6 cm) away from the blade. Never
perform any cutting operation “freehand”
(i.e., without holding the work piece
against the fence), because the blade
could grab the work piece, causing it to
slip and twist.
12. Before turning on the saw, perform a
test of the cutting operation by lowering
the saw arm to make sure no problems
will occur when the cut is made.
13. Raise the saw head, hold the saw handle
and press the safety Lock-off button
while pulling the On/Off trigger switch
located under the handle.
14. Allow several seconds for the blade
to reach maximum speed.
15. Slowly lower the blade into and through
the work piece. Complete the cut.
16. Release the safety lock and the trigger
switch, and turn the laser switch off.
Allow the saw blade to stop rotating
before raising the blade out of the work
piece.
BEVEL CUTTING (FIG. 28)
A bevel cut is a cut made across the grain
of the work piece with the blade at an
angle to the work piece.
A straight bevel cut is made with the miter
table set at the 0° position and the saw arm
set at a bevel angle between 0° and 48°
right or left.
