Sliding Cuts

Warning! Make sure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped down to
the turn table (11) and is supported against the rear fence (26) before
cutting.
Warning! A warped or irregular workpiece may pinch the saw blade
while being cut and cause kickback. Check that the workpiece is
always evenly supported against the rear fence (26).
This cut is used where the width of the workpiece is wider than the
cutting width of the blade at the rearmost position.
Check that the saw is in the rearmost position and check that the
sliding lock screw (24) is not engaged.
With the saw head in the up position, draw the saw head out so it
clears the workpiece.
Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to reach full speed. Gently
lower the saw head towards the workpiece until the depth of cut is
achieved. Do not force the blade. Once the depth of cut is achieved
hold the saw head at this depth and push the saw head towards the
rearmost position to complete the cut. Do not force the blade. After
completion of the cut, turn the saw OFF.

Replacing the Saw Blade

Warning! Before replacing the saw blade always remove the battery.
Only use saw blades with a speed rating of 4200 rpm or greater. Make
sure that the spindle diameter and the saw blade bore match. Only use
sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked or bent saw blades must
be replaced immediately.
Warning! Even used saw blades are sharp. There is a risk of cuts
while handling them. Handle saw blades carefully.
Make sure that the battery has been removed.
