OPERATION
TO MAKE A CROSS CUT
See Figures 34 - 35.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious possible injury.
WARNING:
Using the rip fence as a cutoff gauge when cross cutting
will result in kickback which can cause serious personal
injury.
 Remove the rip fence.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Set the miter gauge to 0° and tighten the lock knob.
 Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
 To turn the saw ON, lift the switch button.
 To turn saw OFF, press the switch button down.
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized use, install a padlock
(not included) through the hole in the switch as shown in
figure 35.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter
gauge and feed the workpiece into the blade.
NOTE: The hand closest to the blade should be placed
on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from
the blade should be placed on the workpiece.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
