OPERATION
 Turn the material over and make the second cut along
one of the marks. This time overcut the other line and the
cut piece should separate from the rest of the material.
 When the second cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait
for the cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before
removing any part of the material.
TO MAKE A BEVEL CUT
See Figure 26.
Bevel 45° cuts can be made using this saw.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Slide the saw table to the front of the water tray before
tilting the saw head.

and feed the material into the cutting wheel.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait for the
cutting wheel to come to a complete stop before removing
any part of the material.
TO MAKE A PLUNGE CUT
See Figure 27.
Plunge cuts are made by positioning the material directly
underneath the cutting wheel and lowering the wheel onto
the workpiece. This allows pieces to be cut from the center
of the material.
 Using a marker or grease pencil, mark the area to be cut
on material.
 Loosen the lock knob on the motor head and position
the motor head upward to its maximum height.
 Turn the on/off switch to the ON position.
