Use and Care Manual

19 ENGLISH
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fence until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. 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: Whenever performing a slide cut,
rst 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: Never attempt to perform a slide
cut by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.

► 1. Stopper pin
1. Unlock the stopper pin so that the carriage can
slide freely.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
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: After setting the blade for a bevel cut,
ensure that the carriage and blade will have free travel
throughout the entire range of the intended cut before
operating the tool. Interruption of the carriage or blade
travel during the cutting operation may result in kickback
and serious personal injury.
WARNING: While making a bevel cut keep
hands 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: The blade should not be raised 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.
NOTICE: When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pin.
3. Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the "Adjusting the bevel angle" section.
