Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so
that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the work-
piece with the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the

Never perform the slide cut with the handle
locked in the lowered position.
Never loosen the locking screw which
secures the carriage while the blade is rotat-
