OPERATION
MAKING A CROSS CUT
See Figures 39 - 41.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly with kickback
pawls 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.
Press the top button on the switch to turn the saw on.
NOTE: The switch cover does not have to be raised to
operate the switch.
Press the bottom button on the switch to turn the saw
off.
NOTE: To prevent unauthorized use, install a padlock
(not included) through the holes in the switch and cover
as shown in figure 39.
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.
To make repetitive cross cuts:
A stop block can be used as a cut-off gauge to make repeti-
tive cross cuts of the same length without having to mark
the workpiece for each cut. The end of a stop block should
always be in front of the blade. NEVER use the rip fence as
a cut-off gauge.
