OPERATION
REPETITIVE CROSS CUT
Fig. 41
STOP
BLOCK
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.
Position a 3 in. block of wood at the desired distance
from the blade to act as a cut-off gauge.
Secure the stop block in place using a vice or a clamp.
WARNING:
When secured, the end of the stop block should be in
front of the blade. Securing the stop block beyond the
front of the blade will result in kickback which can cause
serious personal injury.
Position the workpiece on the miter gauge with the edge
flush against the stop block.
When cutting a long or wide workpiece, place a support
the same height as the table surface in front of the saw,
behind the saw, and on the sides of the saw as needed.
Insert the battery and turn the saw on.
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 cut piece.
Move the miter gauge back to the front of the saw and
position the workpiece for the next cut.
After the last cut, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop and remove the stop block.
MAKING A RIP CUT
See Figures 42 - 43.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly with kickback
pawls is installed and working properly to avoid serious
possible injury.
WARNING:
Taper cuts must only be made with a special jig, which is
commercially available. Do not attempt a free hand taper
cut on this saw. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade
for the cut and securely lock the handle.
NOTE: Do not place the rip fence on the left side of the
blade when cutting material greater than 3/4 inches thick.
Workpieces thicker than 3/4 inches may be unstable and
require additional hold downs to ensure stability during
cutting.
When cutting a long or wide workpiece, place a support
the same height as the table surface in front of the saw,
behind the saw, and on the sides of the saw as needed.
Install featherboard in the appropriate position for the cut
being made.
Make sure the workpiece is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
Insert the battery and turn the saw on.
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
