The slide rail lock knob is loose, the head assem-

bly 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.

See page 34 for accessory blade listing.

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 work-

piece is clamped firmly against the table and

the fence.

Use clamping position that does not

interfere with operation. Before switch-

ing 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 workpiece or to its maximum exten-

sion if blade cannot clear the workpiece (Figure

28).

4. Activate the switch. Lower the assembly all the

way down and cut through the edge of the work-

piece.

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.
