Special Max Width Cutting
Capacities Technique
The maximum width cutting capacity of this tool can be
achieved by following the steps below:
For the maximum cutting width of this tool refer to the
SPECIFICATIONSunder"Cuttingcapacitiesforspecial
cuttings".
1. Set the tool at 0° or 45° miter angle and make sure
that the turn base is locked. (Refer to the section titled
"Adjustingthemiterangle".)
2. Remove both right and left upper fences temporar-
ily and set aside.
3. Cut a platform to the dimensions indicated in the
gureusinga38mmthick,atstockmaterialsuchas
wood, plywood or particle board.
►Fig.55: 1. 0° Miter angle: Over 450 mm 2. 45° Miter
angle: Over 325 mm 3. 38 mm 4. Over
760 mm
WARNING: Be sure to use at stock as a
platform.Stockthatisnotatmaymoveduringthe
cutting operation which may result in kickback and
seriouspersonalinjury.
NOTE: The maximum cutting capacity in height will
be reduced by the same amount as the platform
thickness.
4. Place the platform on the tool so that it extends
equally over each side of the tool base.
Secure the platform to the tool using four 6 mm wood
screws through four holes in the lower fences.

WARNING: Make sure that the platform is lay-
ing at against the tool base and secured rmly
to the lower fences using the four screw holes
provided. Failure to properly secure the platform may
result in movement and possible kickback resulting in
seriouspersonalinjury.
WARNING: Ensure that the tool is rmly
mounted to a stable and at surface. Failure to
properly mount and secure the tool could cause the
tool to be unstable resulting in a loss of control and/
or the tool falling which may result in serious personal
injury.
5. Install the upper fences on the tool.
WARNING: Do not use the tool without upper
fences installed. The upper fences provide the ade-
quate support required to cut the workpiece.
If the workpiece is not supported properly, it may
move resulting in possible loss of control, kickback
andseriouspersonalinjury.
6. Place the workpiece to be cut on the platform
secured to the tool.
7. Securetheworkpiecermlyagainsttheupper
fences with a vise before cutting.

8. Make a cut through the workpiece slowly accord-
ing to the operation titled "Slide (push) cutting (cutting
wide workpieces)."
WARNING: Ensure that the workpiece is
secured with the vise and make the cut slowly.
Failure to do so may cause the workpiece to move
resulting in possible kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Be aware that the platform may
become weakened after several cuts are per-
formed at various miter angles. If the platform
becomes weakened due to the multiple kerf cuts left
in the material, the platform should be replaced. If the
weakened platform is not replaced, it may cause the
workpiece to move, during cutting, resulting in possi-
blekickbackandseriouspersonalinjury.
