The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting
workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the
figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece so it is level
•
with the top surface of the turn base for an
accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut will be impaired.

During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
•
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be
left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut
will be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with
the workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)

011248
Workpieces up to 52 mm (2-1/16") high and 97 mm
(3-13/16") wide can be cut in the following manner.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide
poles clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the
workpiece with the proper type of vise. Switch on the
tool without the blade making any contact and wait
until the blade attains full speed before lowering.
Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered
position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is
completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE
BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before
returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
Firmly tighten two clamping screws which secure
•
the slide poles clockwise so that the carriage will
not move during operation. Insufficient tightening of
the locking screw may cause possible kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
