Saw Operations

Chop Cut

• The slide rail lock knob is tightened and the head

assembly is lowered to cut through the workpiece.

• This type of cut is used mainly for narrow pieces.

Follow these instructions for making

your chop cut:

1. Slide the head assembly to the rear as far as it will

go (Figure 26).

2. Tighten the slide rail lock knob (Figure 26).

3. Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece

is clamped firmly against the table and the fence.

Use clamping position that does not

interfere with operation. Before

switching on, lower head assembly to make sure

clamp clears guard and head assembly.

4. Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and

make your cut.

5. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before

returning head assembly to the raised position

and/or removing workpiece.

Figure 26. Chop Cut

Slide Cut

• The slide rail lock knob is loose, the head assembly

is pulled towards the operator, the head assembly is

lowered to the workpiece and then pushed to the rear

of the saw to make the cut.

• This type of cut is used mainly for wide pieces.

• A positive blade hook of 10 degrees or more is

recommended for best performance when mak-

ing aggressive cuts or cutting thicker materials.

NEVER pull the saw toward you dur-

ing a cut. The blade can suddenly

climb up on top of the workpiece and force itself toward

you.

Follow these instructions for

making your slide cut:

1. Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is

clamped firmly against the table and the fence.

Use clamping position that does not

interfere with operation. Before

switching on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp

clears guard and head assembly.

2. Loosen the slide rail lock knob.

3. Grasp the switch handle and pull the head assembly

away from the fence, until the blade clears the work-

piece or to its maximum extension if blade cannot

clear the workpiece (Figure 27).

4. Activate the switch. Lower the assembly all the way

down and cut through the edge of the workpiece.

5. Push (but do not force) the head assembly towards

the fence to the full rear position to complete the cut.

6. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before

returning head assembly to the raised position

and/or removing workpiece.
